Art

The 1930’s art was looked at as essentially a bridge between two more interesting and vital eras.  For emerging artists, especially those seeking liberation from academic stylistic and thematic strictures, the decade offered exciting, though unsettling, possibilities.  The American Abstract Artists was born in this turbulent time.
