Jim, Davis's abstractions were just ahead of my dad's explorations into the non-objective, so I wonder if they talked about abstraction vs. pictorial in the studio that day!
. Your parents were really interesting people. Like you. Absolutely love the painting by your dads!!!! Colors, subject matter. Do you still have the PICTURE?
No, Cindy, I don't have this painting but I wish I did. It's ironic that today he'd have no trouble finding a gallery as a "New Hope Modernist", but back then finding buyers was his greatest frustration.
And your stories are so interesting! Thanks.
Looks like Stuart Davis was kind of a big deal. His art is crazy bold though. I like your dad's art a lot better!
