STUART DAVIS
Theatre on the Beach.

Lithograph, 1931. 279x381 mm; 11x15 inches, full margins. Signed and numbered 19/25 in pencil, lower margin. A superb impression of the extremely scarce lithograph.

The structure seen behind the figure is the Place Dancourt and the Théâtre de Montmartre, Paris, which was memorialized in a 1925 Eugène Atget photograph. Davis made several preparatory sketches of the building based on Atget's photograph for Theatre on the Beach. Cole/Myers 16.
