Curator Conversation: Youth and Beauty: Art of the American Twenties

Mark Cole, Associate Curator of American Painting and Sculpture (until 1960) discusses the upcoming exhibition Youth and Beauty: Art of the American Twenties at The Cleveland Museum of Art with Kesha Williams, communications manager.

The exhibition brings together for the first time the work of more than 60 painters, sculptors, and photographers who explored a new mode of modern realism in the years bounded by the aftermath of the Great War and the onset of the Great Depression. Throughout the 1920s, artists created images of liberated modern bodies and the changing urban-industrial environment with an eye toward ideal form and ordered clarity—qualities seemingly at odds with a riotous decade best remembered for its flappers and Fords.
