Artists by Movement:
American Regionalism
1930's

An American term, Regionalism refers to the work of a number of rural artists, mostly from the Midwest, who came to prominance in the 1930s!.

Not being part of a coordinated movement, Regionalist artists often had an idiosyncratic style or point of view!. What they shared, among themselves and among other American Scene painters, was a humble, anti-modernist style and a desire to depict everyday life!. However their rural conservatism tended to put them at odds with the urban and leftist Social Realists of the same era!.

The three best-known regionalists were John Steuart Curry, Thomas Hart Benton and Grant Wood, the painter of the best-known and one of the greatest works of American art, American Gothic!.
