Armory Show
Armory Show (1913) Landmark exhibition of contemporary American and European art held in New York, USA. The European section of the exhibition caused the greatest excitement. It looked back to
impressionism, tracing the history of modernism through
neo-impressionism and
post-impressionism with examples of work by
Gauguin,
Van Gogh, and the Nabis, but came right up to date with examples of
cubism,
orphism, and
Dada. The exhibition travelled successfully to Chicago and Boston, attracting
c.500,000 visitors. It put avant-garde European art on the American map and revolutionized the nation's attitudes.
