Regionalism – a popular mid-20th century art movement underscoring how region influences identity has been declared dead. Likewise, Western art, though thriving in popularity, has often thought to be a static genre; new art had to mimic the old in order be accepted. But in the new millennium, the definition of Western art has been examined, contested and expanded beyond its once-static geographical and philosophical boundaries. Indeed the West has become more mythology, than location or history.
