There’s an exhibition called “Youth and Beauty: Art of the American Twenties” that’s been traveling around the country since the end of last year. This month it ends its run at the Cleveland Museum of Art.
The program “brings together for the first time the work of sixty-eight painters, sculptors, and photographers who explored a new mode of modern realism in the years bounded by the aftermath of the Great War and the onset of the Great Depression.”.
Some of the artists presented are:
Thomas Hart Benton, Imogen Cunningham, Charles Demuth, Aaron Douglas, Edward Hopper, Gaston Lachaise, Yasuo Kuniyoshi, Luigi Lucioni, Gerald Murphy, Georgia O’Keeffe, Alfred Stieglitz, and Edward Weston.
Youth and Beauty: Art of the American Twenties until 9/16/12
