Guernica plus...

The address below brings you to SmartHistory's 8 minute discussion on Picasso's Guernica. The site's other discussion that engage 20th century styles and artists are also extremely valuable in adding to your understanding of this period's art and are all highly recommended. http://smarthistory.khanacademy.org/picasso-guernica.html I've also included 2 wonderful links to the Armory Show of 1913 that provides great insight into the works and artists in this seminal show bringing the European avante-gard to the US, and an article about Gallery 291 run by Alfred Steiglitz. http://www.art21.org/texts/the-culture-wars-redux/essay-the-1913-armory-show-americas-first-art-war http://xroads.virginia.edu/~museum/armory/entrance.html http://www.nga.gov/exhibitions/modart_2.shtm http://www.nga.gov/exhibitions/modart_2.shtm
