| Born in Philadelphia in 1892, Stuart Davis is known by many art
historians as the American painter most influenced by Cubism. Art
historian Norman Geske described Davis' career as a "near classical
demonstration of the process by which American painting of the
twentieth century came of age." (40). Davis moved from
journalistic illustration to Social Realism, to Expressionism, to
Cubism, ultimately becoming one of America's leading abstractionists.
Strongly influenced by Fernan (showing 500 of 15966 characters). |
