Item description from seller

Grey cloth; tan paper dust jacket, 40 pp. 3 color, 28 bw plates. Considers the life and work of American modernist Stuart Davis. (1892-1964) "Offers an informal acount of Davis' career from its precocious beginning in the school of Robert Henri as a follower of The Eight through the impact of the Armory Show and the subsequent evolution of his work. The text is unique in that the artist, as far as possible, speaks for himself. James Johnson Sweeney has skillfully interwoven Davis' own terse and lively talk of pictures, places, people and esthetic theory with a running narrative and critical commentary." (dj) The exhibition checklist cites 53 pieces, and 31 are pictured here. Includes bibliography and other peripheral lists. A nice and early monograph to own, on this prolific artist. G (Ex-gallery owned, with label on front cover and few interior marks; DJ has moderate wear at head of spine and has some blue paint on front cover and is aged; book interior is relatively clear, given its age, and color plates are vibrant.).

Current stock occupies over 2.3 miles of shelving. We are active buyers as well as very active sellers, and supply entire reference libraries as well as individual titles. We ship books almost everywhere, with the exception of China due to restrictions. Our website mullenbooks.com maintains our entire database of over 150,000 titles dynamically, so you can submit "wants" for books which are listed, but not currently in-stock. It is a major research tool. Despite what Google may indicate, we are only open to visitors by appointment, as our schedules are dynamic depending upon the needs of our valued employees.
