Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | In January of 1908, the American Art Association of Paris (AAAP) organized a small exhibition "of a kind hitherto unknown in Paris" at their club headquarters. While the prevalence of Impressionist and Tonalist painting suggests that the exhibition was not avant-garde, it was one of the first displays of American art in Paris that showed stylistic hints of modernism and was an important stepping-stone toward modernist expression for some of its exhibitors at the start of their careers. This article explores the content of and reactions to the 1908 AAAP exhibition in light of tensions between American artists' communities in Paris and within the larger context of American modernism in the early twentieth century. |
