Seller's Description:
VG/VG. Black cloth, gilt letters on spine, fuchia and white & illus. dust jacket, 160 pp., 72 BW illus., 52 color illus. "In a way that was unusual for an artist of his time, Stuart Davis (1892-1964) took his inspiration not only from modern European painting but also from American popular culture....This book is the first study to take fully into account Davis's formative response to black American music--how it reshaped his understanding of what art could be and altered his personal 'take' on European modernism. Its also offers a detailed account of Davis's political activities in the numerous artists' associations he joined during the Depression era. Shedding new light on the artist's career and on his conception of painting, this study is essential not only for admirers of Davis's work but for anyone interested in the social currents that helped define America's visual culture during the almost fifty-year span of his career....[This book] presents a comprehensive selection of Davis's paintings, taken from all phases of his work--most of them reproduced at full-page size and in color--along with individual commentaries on many of the plates, a chronology of the artist's life, and a selected bibliography."
