Despite many differences in style and subject matter, Maurice Prendergast exhibited with the Urban Realist artists in the beginning of the century. His style of breaking up the surface of his paintings with color and light was a shock to American viewers. An art critic wrote in 1908, “Hung in a group, these canvases of Mr. Prendergast look… like an explosion in a color factory.”
