The American avant garde in the period between the two World Wars was both revolutionary and combative, determined to forge a radical style that was in tune with European innovations yet also clearly American. This seminar will examine the achievements of artists such as Stuart Davis, Marsden Hartley, Charles Sheeler, Alfred Stieglitz, and Georgia O'Keefe against the background of more conservative movements of the era--American Impressionism, the colonial revival--as well as in light of the lively culture generated by bohemian writers, patrons, critics, and political activists.
