Allen Tucker, was an architect and painter, whose work was influenced by Vincent Van Gogh, Robert Henri and Maurice Prendergast. In 1911, he became a charter member of the association of American painters and sculptors, the group that would conceive, organize, select the artists and hang the 1913 armory show that shocked many persons by introducing abstract art to america. Tucker helped organize the landmark armory show of 1913, and in 1919 was also part of the founding the society of independent artists, a group that rebelled against traditionalism.

In 1918, he had his first large one-man show at the whitney studio club (later the whitney museum of american art) and became an advisor to Mrs. Juliana Force, who directed the whitney. His work is in the collections of the albright-knox art gallery, buffalo, new york, the art institute of chicago, the brooklyn museum, the metropolitan museum of art, new york city, and the phillips collection in washington, d.c.
