- of paint(painting)(0 votes) - Why commemorate 1913? Did artists in 1913 self-consciously dedicate the year to something special? Did 1913 represent some sort of discreet breakaway from the art of the past??(0 votes)
- There is nothing more special about 1913 then there is above 1912 or 1914. At the time of these videos' makings, 1913 was exactly 100 years in the past. It is just that MoMA wanted to commemorate something in 1913, and decided to look back into the past one hundred years, thus giving us this wonderful series on the artwork of that year. But really, there is nothing "extra" about it that makes the study of it more important that any other year that could have been chosen.(2 votes)
