Streamlines and Breadlines
Season 1, Episode 6
Robert Hughes examines the progress of American art between 1929 and 1941, as the country struggled out of deep depression into an era of new prosperity. While Europe limped out of one war into another, the US presented a utopian vision of the future through its art and architecture until the veneer of isolationist naivety was destroyed by the bombing of Pearl Harbour
