Stuart Davis' paintings were landmarks of American Art for more than five decades.
"I can work from Nature, from old sketches and paintings of my own, from photographs, and from other works of art. In each case the process consists of transposition of the forms of the subject into a coherent, objective color-space continuum, which evokes a direct sensate response to structure. -- Stuart Davis, 1942"

"This body of Modern
and Contemporary artists' sites brings insight into the depth and scope of
extraordinary artists' oeuvres, and it serves as a research tool for students,
faculty, museum curators, researchers, dealers and collectors.
Artist Works Catalogues reflect the dynamic nature of the Web, and our goal is
to present a growing body of artists' online monographs. Unlike published print
monographs and catalogues raisonnés, these are living catalogues, which will be
constantly updated as artists create new works and estates release additional
information. Artnet offers these
catalogues free to the public as an educational resource. Simply click on an individual artist's image
to begin, and check back often to browse new catalogues."
