“That’s not art,” declared former President Theodore Roosevelt. In 1913, “The International Exhibition of Modern Art” opened at New York City’s 69th Regiment Armory. Including over 1,300 works of art by over 300 international artists, the exhibition was the first introduction to avant-garde art for many Americans. The show was met with cheers, jeers, guffaws, and even accusations of insanity. The Philadelphia Museum of Art is the proud home of many of these once outrageous works of art, though there is still the occasional echo of Theo’s lament 101 years later. "The Armory Show," as it is called today, was revived in 1994, and the now annual exhibition opens today in New York City. ”Nude Descending a Staircase (No. 2),” 1912, Marcel Duchamp, © Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York / ADAGP, Paris / Estate of Marcel Duchamp

Pablo Picasso || Ambroise Vollard’ın Portresi (Portrait of Ambroise Vollard)
"Herkes resmi anlamak istiyor. Neden kuşların ötüşünü anlamağa çalışmıyorlar? Gece, çiçek, kişiyi çevreleyen her şey neden anlaşılmağa çalışılmadan sevilir? Ama resme gelince anlamak istiyorlar. Sanatçının gerektiği için çalıştığını anlasınlar özellikle. Açıklamak gereğini duymadığımız ama bizi büyüleyen doğadaki bir çok şeye verilen önemden çok bir önem verilmemesi gerekir sanatçıya, çünkü o da dünyanın en küçük üyelerinden biridir. Bir tabloyu açıklamaya çalışanlar çok zaman yanlış yola saparlar. Bir süre önce Gertrude Stein neşe içinde tablomun neyi göstermek istediğini anladığını söylemişti. Stein’a göre tabloda üç müzikçi varmış. Oysa bir natürmort idi!"
Georgia O’Keeffe (American, 1887 – 1986)

A museum tried to define modernism. It's taking longer than they thought.
