  1. 1. Stuart Davis

    A concise, richly illustrated study that traces the artist’s development from early figurative work to the bold, jazz-inflected abstractions for which he is best known, examining his use of color, rhythm, and graphic vocabulary drawn from advertising and urban life; it situates his formal experiments and political commitments within the broader story of American modernism, analyzes key paintings and compositions, and assesses his influence on later generations of artists.
