“Super Table”, Stuart Davis, 1925, Oil on canvas

Stuart Davis produced flattened still-life paintings and city views that blend abstraction with popular commercial imagery. Laid out on a pink wooden table, a glass, draped fabric, and notebook are reduced to geometric, linear motifs stacked from the simplest to the most elaborate. #stuartdavis #fineart #painting #stilllife #modernism

#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.

I feel like many contemporary muralists owe the Stuart Davis estate a fair amount of royalties. #murals #art #stuartdavis #architecture
