American Scene Painting A broad term applied to the work of various painters who in the 1920s and 1930s depicted aspects of American life and landscape in a naturalistic, descriptive style. The term does not signify an organized movement, but rather an aspect of a general tendency for American artists to move away from abstraction and the avant-garde in the period between the two world wars. Part of this tendency was a patriotic repudiation of European, specifically French, influence.
Burchfield and
Hopper are among the best known exponents of American Scene Painting, and the
Regionalists, who were more self-consciously nationalistic, are also embraced by the term.
