STUART DAVIS (after) Hot Still-Scape for Six Colors—7th Avenue Style.
Color screenprint, circa 1950. 628x800 mm; 24 3/4x31 3/4 inches, full margins. Edition of approximately 50. Published by Esther Gentle, New York.
Based on the same-titled 1940 oil painting by Davis (1892-1964) now in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. A very good impression of this extremely scarce print.
According to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, "Davis's Hot Still-Scape for Six Colors—7th Avenue Style captures the heady, sensory experience of the modern city. One of the undisputed masterpieces of 20th century American painting, the image is the visual equivalent of the syncopated rhythms of jazz, an art form also considered both indigenous and new. Davis evokes the energy of both jazz music and city life through his innovative composition of lively shapes and lines and his palette of vibrant color."
