What are some major works of art and literature produced in the United States?Don't need anything to specfic just need a start.

This is a highly subjective question, but here are a few
of my favorites.

No list of American literary works would
be complete without the addition of Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry
Finn(1884). Twain's novel is generally considered the advent of modern
American literature. Prior to that, Herman Melville's Moby Dick
(1851) certainly deserves mention. Others include F. Scott Fitzgerald's The
Great Gatsby (1925), John Steinbeck's The Grapes of
Wrath (1939), J. D. Saliinger's The Catcher in the Rye
(1951), and Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird (1960). My own
favorite American novel is Joseph Heller's Catch-22
(1961).

Among the most famous American paintings include
Grant Wood's American Gothic (1930), Winslow Homer's A
Fair Wind (Breezing Up) (1876), Gilbert Stuart's George
Washington (unfiniished, 1796), and Mary Cassatt's The Boating
Party (1894).
