本书向斯图尔特·戴维斯的成熟期作品致敬，显而易见，他是一位美国艺术家，改编了欧洲的现代主义，以反映流行文化中的景象、声音和节奏。 从1921年开始，一系列创造性的突破使戴维斯摆脱具象绘画，转向对其所居住世界的更抽象表达。怀着对艺术家塞尚、莱热、毕加索和修拉的钦佩，戴维斯形成了一种风格，这种风格在接下来的四十年里不断发展，成为战后艺术的主导力量。他对现代生活和文化的远见卓识在其去世50多年后仍然具有现实意义。 

本书聚焦其职业生涯的标志性图像和主题，介绍了约100幅作品。从他20世纪20年代初的烟草包装绘画、抽象的“打蛋器”(Egg Beater) 系列、30年代大萧条时期的公共事业振兴署壁画，到他最后20年的宏伟作品。作者对戴维斯的艺术和理论发展采取了批判态度，特别关注了戴维斯早期作品对他后来杰作的影响。他们还讨论了戴维斯吸收立体主义教训的独特能力，以及流行文化的图像、广告美学，以及他最钟爱的音乐——爵士乐的声音和节奏。

This book pays tribute to the mature work of Stuart Davis, a distinctly American artist who adapted European modernism to reflect the sights, sounds, and rhythms of popular culture. 

Beginning in 1921, a series of creative breakthroughs led Davis away from figurative painting and toward a more abstract expression of the world he inhabited. Drawing upon his admiration for Cézanne, Léger, Picasso, and Seurat, Davis developed a style that would evolve over the next four decades to become a dominant force in postwar art. His visionary responses to modern life and culture both high and low remain relevant more than 50 years after his death. 

Focusing on the images and motifs that became hallmarks of his career, this book features approximately 100 works—from his paintings of tobacco packages of the early 1920s, the abstract Egg Beater series, and the WPA murals of the 1930s, to the majestic works of his last two decades. The authors take a critical approach to the development of Davis's art and theory, paying special attention to the impact his earlier work had upon his later masterpieces. They also discuss Davis’s unique ability to assimilate the lessons of Cubism as well as the imagery of popular culture, the aesthetics of advertising, and the sounds and rhythms of jazz—his great musical passion.??
