Mary Mowbray-Clarke

American sculptor and arts organizer who was a participant in the 1913 Armory Show — the watershed exhibition that introduced European modernism to America — and who was embedded in the same New York arts community as the Lewisohn sisters and Herbert Crowley.

Part of the network that brought European artistic modernism to America — the Armory Show's introduction of Cézanne, Matisse, Picasso, and Duchamp to American audiences transformed American art, and the community around it (including Mowbray-Clarke) created the institutional and social infrastructure for American modernism.
