Burchfield, Charles (1893-1967) - 1929-30 Rainy Night

            American Scene painting - A term used to describe scenes of typical American life painted c.1920-c.1942.  Much of this work is also included within Regionalism and Social Realism, and played a big role in New Deal art. It was first applied to the paintings of Charles Burchfield in the mid-1920s.  Born after World War I, American Scene painting developed partly as an outgrowth of the Ashcan school, and partly as a reaction to French modernism. This art movement came from interest in celebrating the democratic ideals of America by promoting subject-matter accessible to the masses.
