	Cultureport: Stuart Davis in Gloucester
		Davis home–brewed a personal brand of Cubism not, as his French forerunners did, from studio props and things you find on café tables, but from the random, sometimes overwhelming sights and sounds of the 20th century American city.
		Davis had been primed for this kind of acute response to his environment by Henri, who, as a central figure of the Ashcan School and a connoisseur of the seamier side of city life, fostered similar enthusiasms in his students.
		Davis, in fact, routinely denied that his work was abstract, insisting that his images were always rooted in his everyday experience and perceptions, however transformed by his emphasis on what he called "color–space coordinates" — pictorial elements with which he mapped space and imposed order on actuality.

		Davis found that, although he no longer set out with the explicit purpose of painting the "jazz scene," his paintings, which had made a drastic shift in style from realist to abstract, could not help being informed by the pervasive (commercialized) jazz sensibility of American culture.
		Davis employed this new method of envisioning reality in 1938's Swing Landscape, a mural depicting the Gloucester Massachusetts waterfront which Davis created for the Williamsburg Housing Project in New York.
		Davis' visual depictions of jazz during the swing era thus paralleled the "whitening" of jazz in the form of swing.

		As his earlier painting Swing Landscape reveals, Stuart Davis viewed technological developments such as radio as forces which changed the fundamental experience of American life.
		Davis likened the painter's role in creating such representations to that of the jazz artist.
		However, it is significant that in these abstract works of the 1930s and 1940s, the true act of interpretation lies in the work of the visual artist who translates the pervasiveness of the commercialized swing sensibility into socially relevant artwork.

		His colorful paintings, in major museum collections throughout the world, draw their inspiration from jazz music and the artist’s appreciation for the freshness and vitality that characterized America in the first half of the twentieth century.
		The print is the study and may have been an exercise for the artist in working out design elements that would figure into a major drawing or major series of drawings.
