A century ago, a modern art exhibition in New York City
changed the face of art in America and shocked the public with its “Nude Descending a Staircase” and other avant-garde works from European masters and young American artists. The International Exhibition of Modern Art in New York City – known as the Armory Show because it was held in a National Guard armory – is the subject for New England filmmaker Michael Maglaras’s lastest film called “The Great Confusion,” which makes its Maine premiere at a screening tonight in Portland. Tom Porter has more. Link to full story. Radio and full versions of the interview available at link. |
