It depicted everyday life and social issues like poverty, labor, and racial injustice. Key artists included Ben Shahn who used elongated figures and symbolism to depict political themes, and Diego Rivera who painted large frescoes depicting workers and indigenous people in a communist-inspired style. Photographers like Dorothea Lange also documented migrant workers and the poor during the Depression in the Social Realist style.

Street art began as art created in public spaces and has evolved over time. It originated from cave paintings and graffiti tags, and became prominent in New York City in the late 1800s. Street art allows self-expression and comes in many forms from political messages to cartoon-like doodles. It has faced criticism for being illegal vandalism, though some see it as a form of art. Notable street artists include Jon Burgerman, known for vibrant cartoon-like doodles; Keith Haring, who used lines to create contained works; and JR, who pastes large black and white portraits in public spaces.
Art & the new deal
FDR had a dream in 1938 to use art and culture to expose people in remote areas and underserved communities to "real paintings, prints, etchings, and music." During the Great Depression, New Deal programs like the Public Works of Art Project and Federal Art Project employed artists to create murals for post offices across 48 states and expose more Americans to art. These programs promoted art as a profession and initiated important conversations about the role of art in public life.
The New Deal and the Arts
The New Deal created several arts programs through the Treasury Department and WPA to provide jobs for unemployed artists during the Great Depression, including the Public Works of Art Project, Section on Painting and Sculpture, and Federal Art Project. These programs employed over 10,000 artists who created over 225,000 works of art in various mediums and genres. The art was displayed in government buildings, post offices, and community art centers across the country to uplift the public with new artistic works during difficult economic times.
What is Pop Art?
Pop art emerged in the mid-1950s in Britain and late 1950s in the United States as an art movement that employed aspects of mass culture, advertising, comic books, and mundane cultural objects. Key figures included Andy Warhol, who created mass-produced images of celebrities like Marilyn Monroe that explored celebrity culture and advertising, and Roy Lichtenstein and Eduardo Paolozzi, who were early pioneers in adopting the visual languages of advertising and pop culture in their fine art works.
Documentary overview
Documentary photography and photojournalism aim to chronicle significant historical events and tell stories about the human condition through truthful, objective, and candid images, often of people. Some of the most prominent documentary photographers mentioned include Matthew Brady who documented the Civil War, Jacob Riis who brought attention to impoverished conditions in New York City in the late 1800s, and Dorothea Lange who was known for her Depression era photojournalism for the Farm Security Administration. Henri Cartier-Bresson is considered the father of modern photojournalism for helping develop street photography style.

Warhol produced iconic works like Campbell's Soup Cans and Marilyn Monroe prints using techniques like silkscreening and repetition. Lichtenstein similarly parodied advertisements and comics through paintings that emulated the style of commercial art. The movement questioned ideas of high versus low art.
Social realism
Social realism focused on accurately depicting the lives of the working class and poor through paintings and photographs that conveyed social and political messages. Major artists like Dorothea Lange, Grant Wood, Ben Shahn, and Jacob Lawrence created works highlighting issues like poverty, labor struggles, and the African American experience to bring awareness to social problems and inspire change during difficult economic times like the Great Depression. The style aimed to realistically portray everyday people and scenes to sympathize with the working class.

The World's Columbian Exposition, held in Chicago in 1893, was the first critically and economically successful U.S. world's fair. Conceived as a celebration of the 400th anniversary of Columbus' landing in the new world, the Exposition held a near-mythological appeal for people of the time.
The Columbian Exposition showcased a city just 60 years old, a city magnificently reborn just 22 years after the Chicago Fire. It also placed before the world the genius of Chicago architects Daniel Burnham, Frederick Law Olmsted, and Louis Sullivan. In effect, the Columbian Exposition was Chicago's debut on a world stage as a locus of great architecture and burgeoning economic power.

"The exterior of the gigantic bubble of glass and iron that rises over the central pavilion of Horticultural Hall has already been shown in these plates, and here we are admitted into the luxurious tropical garden that flourishes in the interior. Here in a great space of light and air may be seen a miniature mountain covered with strange foliage and with a little stream dashing down its sides, great tubs of palms and tree ferns, bamboos, century plants, "elk horns," a miniature Japanese garden, bridges and all, and shady, inviting nooks, in which the tourisht may find picturesque rest - much as the painter has here shown."

The Chicago Defender, 1905
The Chicago Defender, which was founded by Robert S. Abbott on May 5, 1905, once heralded itself as "The World's Greatest Weekly." The newspaper was the nation's most influential black weekly newspaper by the advent of World War I, with more than two thirds of its readership base located outside of Chicago.
As a northern paper, The Defender had more freedom to denounce issues outright, and its editorial position was very militant, attacking racial inequities head-on. The Defender did not use the words "Negro" or "black" in its pages. Instead, African Americans were referred to as "the Race" and black men and women as "Race men and Race women.“
During World War I The Chicago Defender waged its most aggressive (and successful) campaign in support of "The Great Migration" movement. This movement resulted in over one and a half million southern blacks migrating to the North between 1915-1925.

Harlem Renaissance
The Harlem Renaissance was a period in the 1920s-1940s when there was a flowering of African American culture, especially in Harlem, New York. Many African Americans had migrated north during the Great Migration to escape racism and find jobs. Artists drew inspiration from African and jazz styles and sought to express their own African American identity and experiences. Key artists featured paintings, sculptures, writings and more that explored themes of African American life and history and influenced 20th century art for decades. The Great Depression eventually ended the Harlem Renaissance by the late 1930s but its impact on African American culture has endured.

Week 6 Lecture, 20th Century
- In the 1940s, American artists distanced themselves from politically driven avant-garde styles and Marxism. Diego Rivera included communist imagery in his Rockefeller Center mural, causing controversy.
- Surrealist artists like Andre Breton and Wolfgang Paalen experimented with automatism and techniques like frottage and fumage. Many European surrealist artists fled to the US to escape Nazi persecution.
- Abstract expressionism emerged in the late 1940s in New York, exemplified by artists like Pollock, Rothko, Motherwell, and de Kooning. Pollock's drip paintings in the late 1940s were especially influential in establishing this new American style of abstract art.
Copyof socialrealism.pptx
American Social Realism focused on depicting the lives of lower-class Americans, especially those in urban settings, and bringing attention to their hardships. It aimed to create truly American art that rejected abstract styles. Social Realists painted scenes of immigrants, laborers, and the poor living conditions in cities using techniques like oil painting, photography, and prints. They sought to document reality dispassionately and promote social justice through their realistic portrayals of contemporary issues.
The end
The Pop Art movement originated in the mid-1950s in both the United States and Britain. Major American pop artists like Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Jasper Johns blurred the line between fine art and popular culture by reproducing everyday commercial objects and comic books. Their work commented on consumer culture and the increasing influence of advertising and mass media. Meanwhile, the British pop artist Richard Hamilton aimed to make art more accessible to the masses.
