Americana

I like the idea of learning about sub-cultures and genres in art inclusive to the "theme" or "big idea". Referring back to one of the very first posts I  made on here, an interesting question to pose is, "What is Americanism?" This idea came from a podcast on youtube that was posing this question from a speech by Malcom X. I also like the idea of exploring this idea of "Americanism" with the idea and genre of "Americana". Interesting projects could surmount!

Here is a photograph by Scott Pommier a photographer who's work is often deemed "Americana".
