Born in Utica, New York, Arthur Davies gained a reputation for ethereal
figure paintings, ones that expressed lightness and mysticism. He
was also a principal organizer of the 1913 Armory Show that
revolutionized American art by introducing modernism to the viewing
public.
He attended the Chicago Academy of Design and from 1879
to 1882, traveled in the West, to Colorado and Mexico City where he
worked as a drafting civil engineer. He briefly attended the
Chicago Art Ins (showing 500 of 4281 characters). |
