Surveys the American response to contemporary art through a comparison of the reception of works shown at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, and the 1913 Armory Show, New York. Shows that in the first instance viewers of all classes sought narrative meanings in the works on display, while at the later exhibition spectators sought self-generated feelings. In both cases, however, th public looked to the new art for guidance toward an emotional and psychological experience.
