One important thing about art movements is that their popularity can be affected by social conditions, which are themselves often affected by historical events. As an example, look at what happened in the United States early in the 20th century, around the time of the Great Depression, the art movement known as the Regionalism had begun in the United States even before the Depression occurred. But it really flourished in the 1930s, during the depression years. Why? Well, many artists who bad been living in big cities were forced by the economic crisis to leave those big cities and move hack to their small towns in rural America. Some of these artists came to truly embrace the life in small towns and to reject city life in so-called "sophisticated society". These artists or specifically certain painters really built the regionalist movement. They created things in everyday life in small towns or farming areas. And their style was not all neutral, really big glorified or romanticized country life, showing it stable, wholesome, and embodying important American traditions. And this style became very popular, in part because of the economic conditions of the time. You see, the Depression had caused many Americans to begin to doubt their society. But regionalism artists painted scenes that glorified American values, scenes that many Americans could easily identify with. So the movement helped strengthen people’s faith in their country, faith that had weakened as the result of the depression. But in the 1940s, before and after the Second World War, American culture began to take on a touch more international spirit, and Regionalism, with its focus on small town life. well, it lost a tot of popularity, as American society changed once again.

B、Art critics in cites began to take notice of regionalism.
C、Some regionalist painters began a new art movement.
D、Society became more internationally focused.
答案
D
解析

预览选项可知,本题可能考查从经济大萧条到二战前后艺术的改变。二战是世界性大战,艺术家随之也开始由经济大萧条时期关注日常生活转变到关注世界。由原文中began to take on a much more international spirit 可推知[D]为答案。
