Why New Art Mattered – Sebastian Smee

In 1913, the triumph of Synthetic Cubism in France and the Armory Show in United States brought modernism to America, introducing to the world a new wealth of creative innovation, from the found objects of Duchamp to the hermetic poetry of Picasso and Braque. Sebastian Smee explores the overt and hidden wellsprings of innovation in art that made history, and asks what its true and best legacy is a century later.
