Coming up shortly at the Royal Academy of the Arts is a collection of works highlighting the turbulent decades in America’s recent history: America After the Fall: Painting in the 1930s.

Following the uncertainty of the Wall Street Crash in 1929, many American artists depicted their own feelings and the situations many Americans faced in the following years. In this exhibition, 45 ground-breaking painting of the time and a selection of drawings from renowned collections, come together to create this great exhibition highlighting the impact of the Great Depression on Americans.

Some of the artists highlighted in this exhibition include the likes of some American masters such as Georgia O’Keeffe, Edward Hopper, Jackson Pollock, and Alice Neel. You can see how they captured the mass changes in society in this time, and the disappearance of rural America.
