The Metropolitan Museum recently unveiled a novel installation, “Reimagining Modernism,” which highlights the interplay between Europe and America in the early twentieth century.

This exhibition constitutes a sea-change by setting up provocative juxtapositions of European and American masters....

We will evaluate the truth of each aforementioned...
