Missouri-born Benton repented his bohemian foibles and turned to painting what the Met's Director Francis Henry Taylor describes as "the ample American landscape" (he concentrated on harvest scenes). But even after they returned to Manhattan, most of his Paris friends felt themselves closer to Paris than to the prairie, and some brilliant stay-at-homes (Burchfield, O'Keeffe) felt the same...
Marchers in the preliminary parade denied any political partiality, saying merely that they were dadaists. (Dadalsm was a bohemian movement in Germany and France in the 1920s which produced cubist art and specialized in nonsense.) The dadaists were applauded after the demonstration by the HLU, which credited them with bringing out a large crowd, and by the Conservative League, which was grateful for the Boston newspapers' mistake...

To her the era of peace just ending had meant a dozen years of bohemian life: three bungled attempts at marriage; innumerable failures to write poetry, novels and music; barely successful efforts to earn a living around newspapers ; and some definite progress in helping local bohemians support the distilling industry. This slightly dated era of peace-in-her-time was ended, not by Mr. Chamberlain...
