Walt Kuhn received great acclaim during his lifetime for the bold simplicity and emotional intensity of his paintings of vaudeville and circus performers. Kuhn was also one of the principal organizers of the landmark and pioneering Armory Show of 1913, which introduced the American public to avant-garde European art and helped change the course of painting and sculpture in the United States.
