Bright Lights, Big Country
Modern Times: American Art 1910–1950
Through September 3
From jazz and the jitterbug to assembly lines and skylines, the early 20th century was a time of great social, artistic, and technological change. Artists responded with a revolutionary language of shapes and colors. See how Georgia O’Keeffe, Marsden Hartley, Jacob Lawrence, and others challenged convention and forged bold new styles to fit the times.
