American scenes

During the thirties and forties, many artists reacted to abstract styles approved by American contemporary society, rejecting non-objective art as “not American.” Taking into account representative methods, artists on both sides of the border invent new variations for their self-expression. The styles that have turned out in the United States are called differently: the American scene, regionalism and social realism.


The exhibition features works by famous artists, including Diego Rivera, Alfredo Ramos Martínez, Carlos Merida, Doris Rosenthal and others.
