American Paintings Maurice Prendergast, who exhibited with the Eight in 1908, was one of the first American artists to experiment with
post-impressionism. Three of his oils, including Crepuscule (left) and
Landscape With Figures,
were exhibited at the Armory Show; all
were characteristic of his work from this period: landscapes with short
brushstrokes and bright colors. Prendergast's involvement in exhibitions with Ashcan realists John Sloan, Robert Henri, and George Luks both before and after the Armory Show
speaks to the unnegotiated field of modern art in early 20th-century America.
