Little did I know, back in the days when we set up for the Modernism Shows at the 69th Regiment Armory on Lexington and 25th Streets that I was standing on hallowed ground!!! The first International Exhibition of Modern Art in New York hapenned here in 1913. It was organized by the Association of American Painters and Sculptors. It took place between February 15 and March 17, 1913 and it was the first large exhibition of Modern Art in America.
At the time both Prize-winners of the Grand Prix de Rome in sculpture and painting, Jacqueline Georges Deyme and Jean Marc Lange met at the Villa Medici in Rome between 1964 and 1969. It is the starting point of a fructuous, affective and professional complicity in connecting painting and sculpture, visible in exhibitions that they like to realize together.
Georges Braque was born in Argenteuil, France on May 13, 1882.
In 1890, the family moved to LeHavre where he helped his father in the painting business and attended LeHavre Art Academy beginning in 1899.
In 1900 he apprenticed to a painter in Paris while attending drawing classes at the school in Batignolles and then at the Academie Humbert.
The 1940s marked a period of transition in interior design: the quarrel between ancient and modern was outdated, the combination of function and art was essential, and interior designers were more focused on new creations rather than on post-war reconstruction. The style of this period exhibits all the contradictions that arise from a society that was in a general state of shock, unsure of what the future would hold. Exemplary cabinet making marks the period, featuring famous names like T.H.
