On the next State of the Arts

America was still a young country as the 20th century dawned, and the cultural influence of Europe was strong. Yet important regional art scenes were emerging. This special episode of State of the Arts takes a look back at that time, from the impact of the 1913 Armory Show, which introduced radical new trends in art, to early modernist American classics that continue to inspire artists today: Thornton Wilder’s Our Town (1938) and Martha Graham’s iconic Appalachian Spring (1944).
