During the 1930s and 1940s, painters Grant Wood, Thomas Hart
Benton, and John Steuart Curry formed a loose alliance as American
Regionalists. Some lauded their depictions of the rural landscape
and hardworking inhabitants of America's midwestern heartland;
others deemed their painting dangerous, regarding its easily
understood realism as a vehicle for jingoism and even fascism.
Cultivating Citizens focuses on Regionalists and their critics as
they worked with and against universities, museums, and the
burgeoning field of sociology. Lauren Kroiz shifts the terms of an
ongoing debate over subject matter and style, producing the first
study of Regionalist art education programs and concepts of
artistic labor.
