What is "regionalism"?
Regionalism was an art movement in the early to mid-20th century in the United States, which focused on showing country and small-town life with a sense of local pride and accuracy. Main artists of the movement, like Grant Wood and Thomas Hart Benton, were known for their detailed, realistic depictions of everyday scenes from various American regions. The movement aimed to emphasize and appreciate the unique aspects of American landscapes, people, and traditions, often in response to the growth of cities and industrial development at the time. Regionalism aimed to provide a sense of connection to the land and community, showing the beauty and character of local life.
