Ashkan School engravings and the American city, 1900-1940.
L'exposition 17 juillet − 26 décembre 2021
Cleveland Museum of Fine Arts invites you to visit the exhibition "Ashkan School Engravings and the American City, 1900-1940.".
The exhibit features graphic works from the museum's holdings and private collections that recall a bygone era, but at the same time, visitors can learn some of the social and economic tensions that persist in America's cities even today.
The paintings on view are prints of urban life made during a time of rapid demographic, social and economic change in America's cities. The exhibit echoes the exhibition "A Minute of New York: Street Photography, 1920-1950." Cleveland Museum.
As New York City became an epicenter of change, filled with dynamic new communities of immigrants from Europe and Latin America, as well as black southerners migrating north, the artists responded to the everyday lives and experiences of urban residents using advertising and media techniques. Their paintings include depictions of the lower classes, immigrants, working women and the social elite.
