...orchards of modern art. Their shabby Latin Quarter ateliers held the first green fruits of freedom. The sidewalk cafés of Paris rocked and rang with their back-slapping and boasting. Les Fauves, "the wild beasts" and their far-from-tame friends had taken over-Matisse, Braque, Derain, Duchamp, Rouault, and Picasso in command...

...examples of French and U.S. modern art. They adopted a motto, "The New Spirit," and distributed thousands of buttons bearing the pine-tree flag of the American Revolution. Probably 250,000 people saw the "Armory Show," and for a good many the experience was horrifying. For a glimpse of Duchamp's Nude Descending a Staircase (see cut], they had to stand in line...

Between these bypaths lay a two-lane highway of abstraction and surrealism.

...Walter Gropius, France's Le Corbusier, the U.S.'s Raymond Hood. In 1935, it successfully arranged the American canonization of Vincent van Gogh. In 1936, its Cubism and Abstract Art show was a glamorously complete record of the quarter-century since that September Morn of cubism: Marcel Duchamp's Nude Descending a Staircase. In later shows the Museum assembled Fantastic Art, Dada, Surrealism, the works of Picasso. Over the years it has coyly flirted with lusty, callow, sometimes triumphant...
