An essay in reaction to this event, written by a president, asserted that the only thing missing from it was the "note of the commonplace" and also noted that "there is no reason why people should not call themselves such things as...the Knights of the Isosceles Triangle." Pamphlets for this event were written by, among others, Mabel Dodge and Walter Pach, the latter of whom helped organize it with Walt Kuhn and its driving force, (*) Arthur B. Davies. Works displayed here include one subtitled "Souvenir de Biskra" and a painting disparaged by Julian Street as an "explosion in a shingle factory." For 10 points, identify this 1913 art exhibition which shocked Americans with such modern paintings as Duchamp's Nude Descending a Staircase.
