Art Appreciation: Regionalism 
Regionalism (American Art Movement)
Regionalism was an American art movement that emerged in the 1930s, focusing on realistic depictions of everyday life in rural and small-town America. At a time of economic hardship during the Great Depression, Regionalist artists turned their attention away from European modernism and instead celebrated local landscapes, labor, traditions, and community values.
Rather than painting abstract ideas, Regionalist artists told visual stories rooted in place, identity, and shared experience. Their work often reflects themes of resilience, familiarity, and cultural pride, capturing moments that felt honest, accessible, and deeply connected to American life.
