 Armory Show of 1913
The idea of radical modern art as displayed at the Armory Show had been introduced to Chicago in 1912 at the W. Scott Thurber gallery in a series of exhibitions of works by Arthur Dove, Jerome Blum, and B. Nordfeldt.
Prior to the show's arrival in Chicago, the Chicago Tribune had sent critic Harriet Monroe (whose Poetry magazine had begun appearing the previous year) to New York to cover the exhibition, while Chicago lawyer Arthur Jerome Eddy had already purchased postimpressionist works from the show.
Nevertheless, the Armory Show came as a shock to most Chicagoans, provoking a raucous response ranging from moral posturing and parody in the press to honest outrage.
