Paintings: When art started to change in the 20th century, it meant more than painting a picture of anything at all. To people in the Great Depression, it meant civilizing, an insperational force, and a carry over for victorian ideas.Art went from drawing on caves to drawing on portraits to sculpting to monuments. Art became more popular in the 1930, during the Great Depression. Artists could express the events going on in portraits. They drew about dust storms and the terrible corupness going on. Theatre arts went from silent films in the 1920's, and moved on to sound films. We had a great advance. All new plays started to be performed.
