QR code
"Cubists and Post-Impressionism" by Arthur Jerome Eddy is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the radical changes in the art world during the early 1900s, particularly focusing on the movements of Cubism and Post-Impressionism. It examines the reactions against Impressionism and the controversies that arose around new artistic expressions during this time, providing insights into the evolving nature of art and its critical reception. The opening
of this work sets the stage for a discussion on the impact of the International Exhibition of Modern Art, held in New York and Chicago in 1913, which ignited debates about artistic innovation and originality. Eddy reflects on the significance of this exhibition in American art, highlighting the tensions between traditional forms and the emergence of new styles. He expresses the idea that art thrives on controversy, suggesting that the radical shifts towards Cubism and Post-Impressionism were essential for the evolution of the artistic landscape, urging readers to reconsider their views on what constitutes valuable art amidst the chaos of innovative forms.
