That Alfred Stieglitz's associate Marius de Zayas played an important role in the evolution of the American avantgarde is widely recognized. Portrayed today as a critic, editor, and art dealer, de Zayas was also a remarkable artist who developed a complex theory of abstraction between 1911 and 1913.

An important contribution to New York Dada, they inspired Francis Picabia to create his mechanomorphic style in 1915.
