Biographical

Davis is generally considered to be the outstanding American artist to work in a Cubist idiom. He made witty and original use of it and created a distinctive American style, for however abstract his works became he always claimed that every image he used had its source in observed reality: "I paint what I see in America, in other words I paint the American Scene." [Adapted from WebMuseum]
