 Jim Davis: Visions of Convergence
By Robert A. Haller Film-maker Jim Davis (1901-74) was raised in West Virginia and attended college at Princeton University; save for some years of study in France, and a period in the 1930s during the Depression, when he taught in West Virginia, he spent most of his life at Princeton.
Davis learned how to cast these prismatic light patterns with transparent plastic mobiles, and became so adept at this that he held demonstrations of "visual chamber music" for friends and colleagues at the University.
But Davis rapidly concluded that he could make stronger, more dynamic films if he was the film-maker himself; from 1949 he worked alone, with increasing success, including shows at Cinema 16 and the Art in Cinema series in San Francisco.
