Rue de l’Échaudé, an oil on canvas by Stuart Davis
painted in 1928.
Estimated
to sell for $1/1.5 million, this work was created by Davis during his year-long
excursion to Paris sponsored by Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney and her associate
Juliana Force. During this time, Davis lived in Montparnasse together with
other American artists such as Morris Kantor, Isamu Noguchi and Alexander
Calder. He was absorbed by Paris café culture, jazz music and the modernist
philosophies of his Parisian contemporaries, and this was reflected in his
work. In Rue de l’Échaudé, the
flattened forms and broad expanses of color are animated by French details,
such as decorative signage, delicate balconies and café tables and chairs
presented in a schematic format.
