the south of the early 20th century. Movements Numerous movements are included in this broad category, including Southern expressionism, folk art, and modernism. These movements are connected by the commonality of the Southern cultural experiences that formed the perceptions of the artists. While antebellum Southern portraiture has much in common visually with modern Southern expressionism, it is considered Southern art because it was created by Southern artists and its subjects were residents of the American South.
