"American Modernism" Exhibition
Spanierman Gallery
This event has ended.
Modernist influence took root in America in the first decade of the twentieth century. Although realism— exemplified by the Ashcan School— was ascendant at the time, a concurrent awareness of new European modes was emerging quietly, both in this country, where Alfred Stieglitz began to show the works of French progressives at his Photo-Secession Gallery in New York in 1908, and in Europe, where a number of American artists became exposed directly to the avant-garde. Patrick Henry Bruce, Alfred Maurer, and Marsden Hartley frequented the famed Parisian salon of Gertrude and Leo Stein, which encouraged their adoption of the influences of cubism and fauvism as well as of the styles of Matisse and Picasso.
