Youth and Beauty: Art of the American Twenties
March 4–May 27, 2012

The Dallas Museum of Art has a new exhibition! You may have heard the catchy advertisement for it on KERA. It’s called Youth and Beauty: Art of the American Twenties and is reportedly the first examination of American fine art from the close of the first World War through the beginning of the Great Depression on a large scale. This exhibition is touring across the United States and features more than 130 works of painting, sculpture, and photography by more than sixty-five artists. It demonstrates how American artists of the period embraced a progressive, idealized realism visible in a resurgence of figuration and in highly distilled images of American places and things. Organized by the Brooklyn Museum, Youth and Beauty will include three works from the DMA’s collections, so if you’re in the mood for a double dose of history and culture… check it out!
