Explanation:

An art exhibition was opened in New York City on Feb. 17, 1913, that shocked the country. In the show around 4,000 viewers were gathered in the gallery.

The Armory Show or the International Exhibition of Modern Art was a show organized by the painters and sculptors in 1913. The show was an important event in the history of American art, as it marks the beginning of Modernism in America. Till now people were used to realistic form of art. The American artist during this time became more independent and creative in their art form. For the first time, the phrase "Avant-garde" was used to describe painting and sculpture. Marilyn Kushner, the co-curator of an exhibition says, "it was jarring for the audiences in 1913 to encounter works such as Matisse's Blue ude for the first time. You know, she's a ude. You can tell she's a ude. But she's in all of these colors that you never imagined you would see on a woman before. She looks very primitive, almost childlike."
