The article discusses two exhibitions at the Metropolitan Museum of Art that explore American art during the 1930s and '40s. The first exhibition, "Art and Politics in the 1930s," focuses on the connection between art and politics during the Great Depression. It examines the works created under government programs like the WPA and the tensions within the art of the era. The second exhibition, "Art for the Millions," explores the search for an American cultural identity during this period and showcases diverse expressions of American art. It also highlights the shift towards narratives of technological and industrial innovation. Both exhibitions provide insight into the role of artists in bringing art and culture to the masses during a challenging time in American history. [Extracted from the article]
