America after the Fall: Painting in the 1930s
This tour of ‘America After the Fall: Painting in the 1930s’ is designed specifically for wheelchair users and mobility impaired visitors.
In the devastating wake of the Wall Street Crash, artists sought to capture what it meant to be American as changes in urbanisation, industrialisation and immigration pulsed across the country. The result was one of the most vital periods in the 20th century for American artists.
Join us for an early morning tour to experience the life of 1930s America through the many masterpieces in this landmark show. The exhibition includes works which have rarely been seen together, by artists ranging from Jackson Pollock, Georgia O’Keeffe and Edward Hopper to Thomas Hart Benton and Philip Guston.
This event includes refreshments and volunteer support is provided.
