Description: In this work, Green shows how two notable, seemingly quite disparate events of the pre-WW I era converged, both in time and place, and (more importantly) in their enthusiasm for radical art and radical politics. Champions of the Armory Show and the Paterson Strike Pageant interpreted these events as liberating forces from bourgeois tastes and bourgeois economics. Their common cause notwithstanding, Green notes the lines of divergence between these two celebrations and among their supporters, both then and in the years that immediately followed.
