American artists became acquainted with the new art on their trips to Paris and at theexhibitions in the famous New York gallery “291” (named after its address on Fifth Avenue) of thephotographer Alfred Stieglitz. But most important in the spread of the modern movements in the United Stateswas the sensational Armory Show of 1913 held in New York, in which the works of many of the leadingEuropean artists were seen along with the works of a number of progressive American painters.Several of the American modernists who were influenced by the Armory Show found the urban landscape,especially New York, an appealing subject. Compared with the works of the realist painters, the works ofAmerican modernists were much further removed from the actual appearance of the city; they were moreinterested in the “feel” of the city; and more concerned with the meaning behind the appearance. However,both the painters of the “Ash Can School” and the later realists were still tied to nineteenth-century or earlierstyles, while the early modernists shared in the international breakthroughs of the art of the twentieth century.The greatest of these breakthroughs was Cubism, which developed most fully in France between 1907 and1914, and brought about a major revolution in Western painting. It overturned the rational tradition that hadbeen built upon since the Renaissance. In Cubism, natural forms were broken down analytically into geometricshapes. No longer was a clear differentiation made between the figure and the background of a painting: theobjects represented and the surface on which they were painted became one. The Cubists abandoned theconventional single vantage point of the viewer, and objects depicted from multiple viewpoints were shown atthe same time.
