Kurt Andersen and filmmaker Woody Allen talk about the indelible impact of the 1940s on American art and culture. Our cover story takes us back to the era of fast-talking dames, the Zoot Suit riots, and the artistic life in Japanese internment camps. We also visit Jacob Lawrence’s powerful paintings on view at the Phillips Collection in Washington, DC.
