#Modernism #Art #StuartDavis #HighMuseum #Ashcan Newly displayed at High is Stuart Davis painting Shapes of Landscape Space #3 1940. Caption said work was based on his observation "I paint what I see in America, in other words I paint the American Scene." The Ashcan colors drew me in with feelings of happiness and optimism. Davis propels what is best from his world, the rhythms of jazz, the dynamism of urban life.

"This studio is no less a place where life is going on in its tragedy and comedy than any other"

-Robert Henri, The Art Spirit
