Everyone, young or old, (be) __ asked to help.
Between about 1920 to 1930, new artistic movements in European 【M1】__

artists become acquainted with the new art on their trips to Paris and
at the exhibitions in the famous New York gallery 291 (named with 【M2】__
its address on Fifth Avenue) of the photographer Alfred Stieglitz.
But most important in the spread of the modem movement in the
United States was the sensational Armory Show, in which the work of 【M3】__
many of the leading European artists were seen along with that of a
number of progressive American painters. Several of the American
modernists who were influenced by the Armory Show found the
urban landscapes, especially New York, an appealing subject.
Comparing with the realist painters, the American modernists were much
removed from the actual appearance of the city. However, both the
painters of the Ash Can School and the latter realists were still tied 【M4】__
to 19th century or earlier styles, while the early modernists shared
with the international breakthroughs of the art of the 20th century. 【M5】__
Cubism brought about a minor revolution in Western painting, 【M6】__
which overturned the rational tradition that was built upon since the【M7】__
Renaissance. In Cubism, natural forms were broken down analytical 【M8】__
into geometric shapes.
No longer a clear differentiation made between the figure and 【M9】__
the background of painting: the objects rep-resented and the surface
on which they were painted be-came one. The Cubists abandoned
the conventional single vantage point of the viewer, and objects
depicting from multiple viewpoints were shown at the same time. 【M10】__
