"The seeds of Modernism were laid in 1916. Rex Slinkard and Stanton Macdonald-Wright founded the Modern Art Society whose members were largely artists returning to LA from the East Coast or Europe where they had picked up Cubism, Expressionism and Fauvism. The Otis Art Institute, another important college that survives, also dates roughly to this time."
