This chapter details events in Roland Penrose's life from 1945 to 1947. Lee and Roland flew to New York City on 19 May 1946. Roland was elated to have the opportunity to rekindle his relationship with the Museum of Modern Art's (MOMA) director Alfred H. Barr, Jr., who likely warned him about the dangers he would face if he backed any kind of proposal to open a museum of modern art in London. Roland was taken with MOMA's collection: ‘Realizing that it was on a far greater scale that anything that could be dreamt of in London, consistently indifferent to all matters concerning the visual arts and still enfeebled by the war, this achievement nevertheless roused in me a longing to attempt some similar kind of folly at home’. Barr would also have expressed his gratitude to Roland for allowing his Picassos to be sent to MOMA during the war.

Armory Show

The 1913 Armory Show was the first comprehensive exhibition of modern art to take place in the United States and served as America’s introduction to modernism in the visual arts. Formally titled the International Exhibition of Modern Art—but informally designated the "Armory Show," given its location at the 69th Infantry Regiment Armory in New York City—the exhibition was organized by the Association of American Painters and Sculptors (AAPS), a small group of American artists, with the goal of offering a survey of modern art from Impressionism to Cubism and to spur the establishment of modern art in the United States. The exhibition ran for four weeks (February 17–March 15, 1913) and offered more than 1,300 works by 308 artists who hailed from twenty-five nations (though American artists composed more than half of this total).

Art Dealer

Jay Leyda’s peripatetic life and protean career cut a unique, remarkable path. The long list of roles he mined include filmmaker, photographer, critic, archivist, art dealer, translator, librettist, and educator. He is best remembered, however, as a leading historian of early and Soviet and Chinese cinemas, interests he started to develop in the vibrant art circle he helped establish in New York City in the 1930s. Born in Detroit, Michigan, Leyda was raised by his grandmother in Dayton, Ohio. His artistic training started early; after studying photography under Jane Reece, he moved to New York City in 1929 to work as Ralph Steiner’s darkroom assistant. After a year of working for Steiner, Leyda left and supported himself by freelancing as a portrait photographer for various magazines, including Vanity Fair and Arts Weekly; in this capacity he met and photographed Alfred Barr, the first director of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and the person largely responsible for establishing its film library. Leyda also secured a position as sound and recording arranger at the Bronx Playhouse, where he was exposed to repeated showings of films by internationally acclaimed directors including Sergei Eisenstein and Dziga Vertov.

Insight Into

My involvement as an artist and as an art librarian allows me to see a full spectrum of art history from its inception by an artist to its assessment by an art historian. It enables me to better understand the needs of faculty and students in the field of visual arts, as well as to interface effectively with faculty and scholars in art history. My gallery membership at SOHO 20 in New York City provides me with insight into art trends in the making. It demonstrates well a woman’s place in the contemporary art world, and a role of a critic in promoting or establishing an artist. I feel that this knowledge makes me a better librarian.
