In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, American artists primarily painted landscapes and portraits in a realistic style. A parallel development taking shape in rural America was the
American craft movement, which began as a reaction to the
Industrial Revolution. Developments in modern art in Europe came to America from exhibitions in New York City such as the
Armory Show in 1913. After World War II, New York emerged as a center of the art world.
