    Good Question

    In case you missed it, Miz "b" commented a few posts back and brought up a good question.  She asked if the painting titles listed were all in the Armory Show.

    Yes, the painting titles are straight from the catalog, "1913 New York Catalogue of the International Exhibition of Modern Art."  And FYI, the images are only from works shown in the exhibition.

    Also, once you decide, please let The Froggwellian know, so your choice or choices can be posted--wouldn't want to have 2 forgeries of the same painting!

    Here's a photo of some of the artists--these are the men (and un-pictured women) you are trying to channel:
