Biography:
Stuart Davis was the son of the art director for the Philedelphia Press and sculptor, Helen Stuart Folke. From 1910 to 1913, he studied in New York with Robert Henri and was one of the youngest artists to participate in the Armory show in 1913. In the 1920’s, his work displayed a refined Cubist influence. Davis traveled to Paris from 1928 to 1929 and returned with a distinctive style that portrayed aspects of American life in patterns of contrasting colors and dark outlines. He was the only American Scene painter to look at his subject matter in an avant-garde manner. Later his work became almost entirely abstract. Davis is regarded as an extremely integral figure to modern American art, helping to create a distinctive style and supporting the development of later artists such as Gorky and de Kooning.
