Please note: Artists not classified as American in our database may have limited biographical data
compared to the extensive information about American artists.
A painter and printmaker, Jacques Villon was known for his Cubist-style
works, and is especially noted by art historians for his creation of a
purely graphic language for Cubism. He first came to the
attention of the American public when his work was included in the 1913
New York Armory Show, which introduced modernism to the United
Sates. All of his work sold at this exhibition.
He was from a cultured family in the Normandy region of France, and was
much influenced (showing 500 of 5516 characters). |
