(1930 to 1935) The "American Scene" in other words is the American Regionalism, which is when artist would create art on the rural life of people and landscapes. The artist didn't want to have to focus on what was going on since would War I just ended so their art was more like a nationalism and romanticism of everyday American life. Another type of art that was a branch from Regionalism is Social Realism. It was kind of like Regionalism but it was more political. Unlike American Regionalism, Social Realism was more urban. Some famous artist from this type of art were Diego Rivera and José Clemente Orozco. The best known artist of the Regionalism were called the Regionalist Triumvirate and consist of Grant Wood in Iowa, Thomas Hart Benton in Missouri, and John Steuart Curry in Kansas.
