Join us as we visit the New York Historical Society… We will begin with a guided Tour of The Armory Show at 100:  Art and Revolution.  Works by Duchamp, Matisse, Picasso, Cézanne, Gauguin, and Van Gogh will be on display in this exhibition which revisits the famous 1913 New York Armory Show on its 100th anniversary. In 1913, the International Exhibition of Modern Art came to New York. Organized by a small group of American artists, including Rockland County’s Arthur B. Davies, this show took place at the Lexington Avenue Armory (and thus nicknamed the Armory Show).  It introduced the American public to European avant-garde painting and sculpture. This exhibition is an exploration of how the Armory Show inspired seismic shifts in American culture, politics, and society.  Please note that this exhibition ends on February 23, 2014.  After lunch, enjoy a self-guided tour of  Clarice Smith: Recollections of a Life in Art.  This is a retrospective of this distinguished contemporary painter’s signature subjects.  Tour includes an all-museum pass.
