Ewing, New Jersey, U.S.A.: Princeton Univ Pr, 1972 "This historical study begins with the exhibition of French art that exploded like a bomb at the 69th Regiment Armory in New York on February 17, 1913, and introduced to America the works of Picasso, Matisse, Baque, Marcel Duchamp, and the rest of the budding ecole de Paris. The author is concerned with the effect that that show had on individual American artists, and he has produced a solid and, considering the controversy that still surrounds the Armory Show, a balanced work of scholarship. Just about every important American artist who worked between 1913 and 1929 is discussed, and there are more than 150 well-chosen black-and-white illustrations."
