Art Conflicting Currents: Aspects of American Art 1920-1950

  • Browne_dancinghorse_web_large

The period between 1920 and 1950 was a time of change in the United States, chiefly manifested by the need to move from an agrarian to an industrial society. Meanwhile, in the art world, traditionalists vied against the avant-garde to define separate aesthetic concepts. Such is the premise for the Conflicting Currents show at the Boca Raton Museum of Art, which gathers more than 120 paintings, drawings, and prints from that era. Several pieces from the social realists are on view, including works by the great Raphael Soyer, as well as Ash Can school member John Sloan and forward-thinking abstractionists like Vaclav Vytlacil.
