  Title: List of artists in the Armory Show
  Passage: The 1913 Armory Show contained approximately 1300 works by 300 artists.  Many of the original works have been lost and some of the artists have been forgotten.  The list of artists in the Armory Show, while not complete, includes nearly all the artists from the United States and Europe who were exhibited in the Armory Show of 1913.  The list is largely drawn from the catalog of the 1963 exhibition, "1913 Armory Show 50th Anniversary Exhibition", organized by the Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute.  Many exhibitions have been held in the vast spaces of U.S. National Guard armories, but "the" Armory Show refers to the International Exhibition of Modern Art that was organized by the Association of American Painters and Sculptors and opened in New York City's 69th Regiment Armory, on Lexington Avenue between 25th and 26th Streets, on February 17, 1913, and ran to March 15.  It became a legendary watershed event in the history of American art, introducing astonished New Yorkers, accustomed to realistic art, to modern art.  The show served as a catalyst for American artists, who became more independent and created their own artistic language.
  Title: Mary Ann Willson
  Passage: Mary Ann Willson (active approximately 1810 to 1825) was an American folk artist based in Greene County, New York.  She was unknown until 1943, when a portfolio of her work was discovered by staff at the Harry Stone Gallery in New York City.  According to art historian Jean Lipman, Willson and her contemporary Eunice Pinney of Connecticut are considered two of the earliest American painters to work in the medium of watercolor.
  Title: Georgia O'Keeffe
  Passage: Georgia Totto O'Keeffe (November 15, 1887 – March 6, 1986) was an American artist.  She was best known for her paintings of enlarged flowers, New York skyscrapers, and New Mexico landscapes.  O'Keeffe has been recognized as the "Mother of American modernism".
  Title: Gregory Amenoff
  Passage: Gregory Amenoff (born 1948) is an American painter.  He is located in the tradition of the early American Modernist painters Georgia O'Keeffe, Charles Burchfield, Milton Avery, Arthur Dove and Marsden Hartley.  In the early 80s his work was often associated with a style of painting called organic abstraction and exhibited alongside artists Bill Jensen, Katherine Porter and Terry Winters.
  Title: Ian Scott (artist)
  Passage: Ian Christopher Scott (20 April 1945 – 27 June 2013) was a New Zealand painter.  From the late 1960s, his work was significant for pursuing an international scope and vision within a local context previously dominated by regionalist and national concerns.  Over the course of his career he consistently sought to push his work towards new possibilities for painting, in the process moving between abstraction and representation, and using controversial themes and approaches, while maintaining a highly personal and recognisable style.  His work spans a wide range of concerns including the New Zealand landscape (especially West Auckland), popular imagery (particularly the representation of the female figure), appropriation and art historical references.  Scott's paintings are distinctive for their intensity of colour and light.  His approach to painting is aligned with the modernist tradition, responding to the formal standards set by the American painters Morris Louis, Kenneth Noland and Jules Olitski.
  Title: N. C. Wyeth
  Passage: Newell Convers Wyeth (October 22, 1882 – October 19, 1945), known as N. C. Wyeth, was an American artist and illustrator.  He was the pupil of artist Howard Pyle and became one of America's greatest illustrators.  During his lifetime, Wyeth created over 3,000 paintings and illustrated 112 books, 25 of them for "Scribner's", the Scribner Classics, which is the work for which he is best known.  The first of these, "Treasure Island", was one of his masterpieces and the proceeds paid for his studio.  Wyeth was a realist painter just as the camera and photography began to compete with his craft.  Sometimes seen as melodramatic, his illustrations were designed to be understood quickly.  Wyeth, who was both a painter and an illustrator, understood the difference, and said in 1908, "Painting and illustration cannot be mixed—one cannot merge from one into the other."  He is notably the father of painter Andrew Wyeth and the grandfather of Jamie Wyeth, both celebrated American painters.
