Description
|
|
|
|
Farms and factories, jazz and street life, and workers and families of 20th-century America come to life in the 51 works here by such artists as Marvin Beerbohm, Ralston Crawford, and Thomas Hart Benton, presented in large color reproductions and photographs from a traveling exhibit by the Smithsonian American Art Museum. William Glackens and Agnes Tait frame American recreation at parks and beaches, while O. Louis Guglielmi portrays the hardship of Great Depression, and paintings by Andrew Wyeth, Grant Wood, and Edward Hopper survey the American landscape. Together, the works convey the wit and color, muscle and grit of daily life, and symbolize the resilient strength of the nation.
