		<description><![CDATA[The “low dishonest decade” Auden refers to was the 1930s, which was the high point of the American art movement known as Precisionism, or sometimes cubist realism. The phrase “clever hopes” sums up nicely the state of optimism that had preceded the Great Depression of 1929 but must surely have been dissipated by the time Auden’s pessimistic poem and Hopper’s alienated painting had appeared.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Alice Neel was a great admirer of Cezanne, and attributes to him her realization of the importance of the sitter’s psychology. We can see this influence in the gloomy portrait of her mother, below, with its solid modeling and the sombre red and blue tones, reminiscent of Cezanne’s late work and well expessing the suffering of old age.

In this exhibit artists have a pure, open way of expressing the meaning of "Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness".
