One of the most famous artists during the time of U.S. imperialism is Vincent van Gogh. Van Gogh and another well known French artist, Paul Cezanne, were part of the Post-Impressionist period of art, which included years from about 1886-1914. Post-impressionism art was known to include vivid colors with real life images that are somewhat distorted. When looking for American art at this time, one would have to look towards Paris as many artists would travel there around the time of U.S. imperialism to better learn their trade at the art capital of the world (Chopin, n.d.). The following picture of art is by an American artist, Mary Cassatt, who lived and learned in Paris.
There are several famous authors during the time of U.S. imperialism, most topics of interest included religious, moral, or political ideals. One well-known author is Kate Chopin, who wrote The Awakening, which chronicles a woman in a fairly oppressive society (Chopin, n.d.) Another famous piece of literature was The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, which has been said to illustrate populism, yet another political ideal. Other well-known authors include Edith Wharton, Willa Cather, Upton Sinclair, and Stephen Crane. (Chopin, n.d.)
