Dove, Marsden Hartley. The Armory Show. Held in 1913, this was the most influential art exhibition ever held in America. The revolutionary Europeans drew more attention than the American painters. The show was held to present the evolution of modern art since Romanticism. The exhibition became a subject of headlines and controversy. The prices of pieces of art surged after 1913 and the market for modern art boomed. Synchromism. Definition: shapes and volumes of pure color. The style was more directed toward free and pure- colored abstraction. The style name suggests harmonized colors. It is closely related to abstraction. Artists: Morgan Russell, Stanton MacDonald-Wright. Dada. Definition: incongruous effects. It received a short-lived enthusiastic welcome thanks to Stieglitz. Dada was nihilistic as it was anti-esthetic in its creations and in its protest against bourgeois values and despair over WWI.
