Abstract
In 1913 at the Armory in New York City, the only place available to house an exhibition of over one thousand paintings and sculpture, Arthur B. Davies assembled the first exhibition of what was called Modern Art held in this country. The work of Cézanne, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Matisse, Picasso, and Braque was shown, together with the work of Delacroix, Manet, Ingres, and many others of more conservative tendencies. Among the sculptors, Brancusi, Lehmbruck, Rodin, Epstein, Bourdelle, and others were shown.
