Commonly referred to as the Armory Show, the International Exhibition of Modern Art in 1913 was an enormous art exhibit featuring the works of early modern artists from Impressionism to Expressionism. The show was an important event in the history of American art, introducing the American public, who were accustomed to realistic art, to the experimental styles of the European avant-garde, including Fauvism, Cubism and Futurism. The show influenced American artists to work in these modern styles. Some of the well-known artists featured in this exhibit include Marcel Duchamp, Camille Pissarro, Mary Cassatt, Paul Cezanne, Paul Gauguin and Wassily Kandinsky.
