In 1919, C.R.W. Nevinson, who had produced some of the most searing images of the First World War, visited New York at the invitation of Frederick Keppel and Company, and created an iconic New York series.
David Cohen writes, in his essay for the exhibition catalogue of the Imperial War Museum C.R.W. Nevinson: The Twentieth Century published by the Imperial War Museum:
"[Nevinson's] images of skyscrapers, traffic, crowds, bridges, and harbors, and such related aspects of modern urbanism as fashions, dance-halls, rallies, and football matches, can be as compelling as his iconic war pictures.... Nevinson's art, writings, and personality bristle with contradictions, at the core of which is an ambivalence toward modernity, both as a phenomenon of life and as a means of representing it...."(page 39).
