Walt Kuhn (1877-1949) He was associated with "The Eight" and with Arthur B. Davies, was a the key figure in forming the American Association of painters and Sculptors that organized the Armory Show of 1913 that introduced modernist European art to America.

Like Cezanne, he destroyed many of his paintings, keeping only about a dozen a year.
