Arthur B. Davies

Painter, printmaker, sculptor, tapestry designer, and illustrator who was known as a contradictory, enigmatic, and mystical artist. Although he was not a realist, Davies exhibited with The Eight in New York City in 1908, and while he was not considered a modernist either, he selected some of the most avant-garde work of the day as organizer of the famous 1913 Armory Show.Joan StahlAmerican Artists in Photographic Portraits from the Peter A.
