He was an early American modernist painter. He was well known for his Jazz influenced, proto pop-art paintings of the 1940s and 1950s, bold, brash, and colorful. Exposed at this exhibition to the work of such artists as Vincent van Gogh and Pablo Picasso, Davis became a committed "modern" artist and a major exponent of cubism and modernism in America.
