Barzun, the father of author and polymath Jacques Barzun, was a poet, and among a number of French modernists who came to New York City right before and during the first World War, among them Marcel Duchamp, Francis Picabia and his wife Gabrielle Buffet, Arthur Cravan, Albert Gleizes and his wife Julliette Roche; painters Jean and Yvonne Crotti; and writer Henri-Pierre Roché. Here they joined painter Joseph Stella, harpist Carlos Salzedo, and those recent immigrants already there like Stieglitz, Georgia O'Keeffe, and Man Ray, forming a community of modern artists who made New York the new center of the art world.
