Mid-Century Art

Although Mid-Century might technically be defined as between 1935 and 1965, we see the term most often used in reference to the 1950s and 60s.  It was the age of the ranch style house, furniture with clean, modern lines, and cars with fins   The art of the period was surprisingly diverse, and we will be looking at it today.  We start with this painting by Emilio Notte from 1950.
