 Civil Rights Movement & Art Work After WW2, the Civil Rights Movement had started making waves. One thing I've always loved about art is the impact and power it can have, through expression on real and or current issues.  I decided to do my assignment on the impact art may have had on the movement during and after. Through research I discovered art wasn't really allowed to be publicly political around this time. Pieces weren't typically published or displayed greatly. It didn't seem to be recognized as such until more afterwards. I put together pieces of art from during/after civil rights movement really began, that powerfully express the turmoil and injustice, of that time period, but that for many still spark emotion.

The 1800s were referred to as the Romantic Era, but there were so many styles of art being produced during this era; it was somewhat overwhelming to focus in and decide what to discuss for this assignment. Some of the art produced during this era is called Romantic, Realism, Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, Naturalist and Nationalist. There was so much going on in the world from politics to science growing, transportation, and so much more that all added to the large growth of art and new styles. All of these styles were really interesting and eye catching but I choose to compare Impressionism to Post Impressionism.  Impressionism Impressionism created some waves as the group of artists were among the first to not wait for their art to be accepted by the salon, which was a big deal back then. The artist we know today as Impressionists couldn't afford to wait for France, the salon, to accept their work. The artists pooled their money, rented a studio and set a date for their own e
