Jackson Pollock; Georgia OKeeffe; Andy Warhol; Julian Schnabel; and Laurie Anderson are just some of the major American artists of the twentieth century. From the 1893 Chicago Worlds Fair to the 2000 Whitney Biennial; a rapid succession of art movements and different styles reflected the extreme changes in American culture and society; as well as Americas position within the international art world. This exciting new look at twentieth century American art explores the relationships between American art; museums; and audiences in the century that came to be called the "American century." Extending beyond New York; it covers the emergence of Feminist art in Los Angeles in the 1970s; the Black art movement; the expansion of galleries and art schools; and the highly political public controversies surrounding arts funding. All the key movements are fully discussed; including early American Modernism; the New Negro movement; Regionalism; Abstract Expressionism; Pop Art; and Neo-Expressionism.

It would also be good for history buffs who want to get the sense of growing up in a small town with steel mills as its main source of income.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.
