In the 1920s, coal town art emerged as a distinct genre of American art. Coal town art typically depicted life in the coal mining communities of the Appalachian region, and it often reflected the harsh living and working conditions that coal miners faced. Artists who worked in the coal town genre often depicted the coal miners and their families engaged in various activities, such as working in the mines, going to church, attending social events, and participating in sports. They also frequently portrayed the poverty, disease, and social inequality that were rampant in these communities. Coal town art played an important role in documenting and raising awareness about the challenges faced by coal mining communities in the early 20th century. Today, coal town art is considered an important part of American art history, and the works of coal town artists are highly sought after by collectors and museums.
