American Scene Painting

American Scene Painting is an art movement from the early 20th century that focuses on depicting everyday life and landscapes of the United States. It emphasizes scenes from American towns, rural areas, and workers, capturing the diverse and authentic experiences of ordinary Americans. The style often combines realism with a sense of national pride, aiming to portray American life honestly and with dignity. Artists sought to celebrate the common people and their environment, moving away from European artistic influences toward a distinctly American perspective.
