After the tune of the century, Villon created his cubist masterpieces - seven large drypoints in which forms break into shaded pyramidal planes. That year, he exhibited at the famed Armory Show in New York City that helped introduce European modern art to the United States. His works proved popular and all his art sold. From there, his reputation expanded so that by the 1930s he was better known in the United States than in Europe.
