American School, early 20th century. In the early 19th century the
infrastructure to train artists began to be established in America, and from
1820 the Hudson River School began to produce Romantic landscape painting that
was original and matched the huge scale of American landscapes. The American
Revolution produced a demand for patriotic art, especially history painting,
while other artists recorded the frontier country.
After 1850 Academic art in the European style
flourished, and as richer Americans became very wealthy, the flow of European
art, new and old, to the US began; this has continued ever since. Museums began
to be opened to display much of this. Developments in modern art in Europe came
to America from exhibitions in New York City such as the Armory Show in 1913.
After World War II, New York replaced Paris as the center of the art world.
Since then many American movements have shaped Modern and Postmodern art. Art
in the United States today covers a huge range of styles. More on American School, early 20th century
