Stella Lyons opens the series with an overview of American art. Grant Woods and the Regionalists; Edward Hopper and Andrew Wyeth. The first half of the 20^th century was a golden age for figurative painters in North America. Man of the most reproduced images from American Art History were created during this time. Grant Woods’ ‘American Gothic’, Andrew Wheth’s ‘Christina’s World’ and Edward Hopper’s ‘Nighthawks’. These images which come out of America are firmly etched in the public consciousness.
