Abstract painter, STUART DAVIS (1892-1964), was one of America's first modern artists and a forefather of POP-ART. Stuart Davis began his artistic career with the Ashcan School before embracing European Modernism following the Armory Show. The artist's abstract paintings, infused with jazz rhythm and bold, colorful abstractions of New York's urban landscape or household objects, offer a taste of European Cubism---with an American twist. Whether painting in the style of Realism or Post-Cubist Abstraction, Davis's determination to convey something of American political and consumer culture was unwavering. Davis is credited with developing an American variation of European Cubism at a time when modernism was just beginning to infiltrate the country. Through slang words and imagery that were distinctly American, Davis's paintings established the country's presence in the burgeoning modern art world. The artist was one of the first to consider jazz and swing music in conjunction with painting. His use of bright, pulsating colors, expressive lines, and repetitious shapes creates a visual rhythm in his paintings similar to the syncopation and improvisation of jazz music. Stuart Davis introduced a new Post-Cubist approach to abstraction by dispersing shapes, throughout the canvas and balancing bold colors in such a way as to deny a central focal point. This new method, in which all parts are equal so that the viewer's eye can wander unguided, signified an important step toward the complete abstraction accomplished by Abstract Expressionists such as Jackson Pollock and Franz Kline. Davis transformed common consumer products and advertisements into singular works of high art that evoked the American populist spirit, prefiguring the Pop art of the 1960s.
