Art in the twentieth century from specifically 1930 to 2000 was filled with innovation and inspiration. The pieces made within this timeline were mostly visual, as this type will be discussed within this website. The artists were the means for this inspiration that hit America. They shaped and forged a legacy so powerful that people will remember them and study their work today. Most of the pieces are based off of personal experience from an artists youth or a big change that is happening in society. The artists paintings have meaning both politically and emotionally. The artists use thousands of styles and techniques for their paintings. Most of the styles and techniques had to do with the current art movement going on in that decade or time period. A lot of other styles had nothing to do with the art movement, but this is still debated among critics today. Most of the pieces will show meaning and reflection but most people or no people know what the meaning is. That is why art and artists is such a debated topic still to this day. It is because they left behind their legacy of perfection that reflects life long inspiration which in turn influences us today.
