The Influence of Art
I first came across the art of Stuart Davis at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. I was learning about art seriously for the first time in my life. I was taking my first art history class at Temple University. There was something about the art of Stuart Davis that struck me.
The piece I remember first was this painting titled Something On The Eight Ball from 1954. I think I liked the graphic nature of his work and the using of text. There was a certain amount of communication going on here and I was taking communication and advertising courses at the time.
I would go on to look at and admire much more of Davis' work for all the different periods of his life.
