The Academic and the Avant Garde: Artists of the 1913 Armory Show

Marine Garden Peacocks
"... The 1913 Armory Show became legendary for signaling a break from the traditions and constraints of the French art academies and for paving the way for avant garde artists in America. The Academic and the Avant Garde gathers objects and archival materials to illustrate how these artists served as a bridge between past and present. The exhibition also sheds light on the eclectic taste that shaped Vizcaya and, more generally, early twentieth-century architecture and design in America."
