Label TextDavis came from a family of artists and studied painting under Robert Henri, an influential American teacher, yet after viewing avant-garde European art at the 1913 Armory Show, a watershed exhibition for modern artists in New York, Davis rejected his early training in realism. Throughout the 1920s and ‘30s, he painted in a Cubist style, his landscapes and still lifes dominated by bold, lyrical outlines, and flat, collage-like planes of color. In the late 1920s, Davis spent a year in Paris, where he mingled with other American expatriates like Gertrude Stein, but his major influences continued to be New York City, and jazz.
