America in the 1930s: How painters captured uncertainty

The most celebrated painting of 1930s America, Grant Wood's iconic "American Gothic", has left the USA for the first time to feature in a new exhibition here in London. "America after the Fall: Painting in the 1930s" brings together 45 iconic works by artists ranging from Jackson Pollock, Georgia O'Keeffe to Edward Hopper and more. Its curator, Adrian Locke, told the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Dan Damon the exhibition tells the story of a nation in flux."
