McCarthy, Laurette E. "Walter Pach: Artist, Critic, Historian, and Agent of Modernism," Department of Art History, University of Delaware, June 1996.
This study examines the life and career of Walter Pach, a seminal figure in the history of modern art in America, and reveals that his contributions to the field were more extensive than imagined. During World War I Pach was a liaison between several groups: European artists and dealers including Matisse, the Duchamp brothers, and Ambroise Vollard; American galleries including Montross, Carroll, Bourgeois Galleries in Manhattan; and American collectors including John Quinn and Walter and Louise Arensberg. He helped organize exhibitions of contemporary art, including the Armory Show, and disseminated the theories upon which modern works were based through articles and lectures.
