The first half of the 2oth century was an extraordinarily vibrant moment in the history of American print***. Overall, the era marked great changes in the visual arts, and prints recorded concurrent shifts in social and cultural behavior. A new group of social real- ists, some of whom were members of the so-called Ash- can School, began to adopt the life of the streets as their primary subject in prints as well as paintings. At the same time, printmakers began to explore modernist aesthetics, particularly after the Armory Show of 1913. Gradually, artists who came to be called Regionalists focused on rural life as the subject for their prints. America offered limitless opportunities for the imaginati*** of printmakers. In turn, they captured this exciting phase of United States history with dynamic, innovative work.

书籍介绍

This volume chronicles the development of print*** in America through the first half of the twentieth century. During this period of dramatic social and cultural change, print*** served artists as a cost-effective means of communicating their observati*** and ideas. Woodcuts, etchings, and lithographs - many illustrated here - by artists such as Thomas Hart Benton, Childe Hassam, Edward Hopper, John Sloan, and Grant Wood addressed a variety of themes, including urbanization, small-town life, the Great Depression, the California landscape, and the two World Wars.The skysc***r, for instance, became a prime subject, admired for its roots in American architecture as well as its associati*** with national power. Prints frequently portrayed the city's inhabitants, often in crowded spaces where the distincti*** between public and private life might become uncomfortably blurred. Depicti*** of the Depression of the 1930's suggest pessimism about the prospects for social justice in a capitalistic economy. Other prints *** a heroic conception of industry and an idealized view of life in the nation's agrarian heartland.
