Seller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book recounts the remarkable story of the 1913 Armory Show, an exhibition that irrevocably changed the course of American art. The author, a key participant in the event, provides an insider's perspective on the exhibition's genesis, its challenges, and its enduring impact. The book delves into the prevailing artistic climate in early 20th century America, a period marked by a stifling conservatism and a yearning for artistic innovation. The author chronicles the tireless efforts of a group of progressive artists, spearheaded by the influential painter Arthur B. Davies, who sought to break free from the confines of traditional art. Their ambition was to introduce the American public to the radical art movements sweeping Europe, namely, Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, and Cubism. The book vividly portrays the excitement and controversy surrounding the show, exploring its role in shattering artistic conventions, igniting public debate, and reshaping the American aesthetic landscape. The author's personal experiences, interwoven with captivating anecdotes and insightful observations, paint a compelling picture of a pivotal moment in art history. By shedding light on the struggles and triumphs of the Armory Show, the book offers a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of artistic taste and its profound influence on American culture.
