Richard Estes</a> is the standard-bearer of photorealist painting and its most devoted and accomplished practitioner. Estes encapsulates timeless, pristine images of the city, and over the last half-century, this process has captured the world with a rare kind of integrity as it changes—our cities, our landscapes, our rituals—slow and steady, then all at once.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>Estes' cityscapes, with their dynamic perspectives and invisible brushstrokes, are often recognized but seldom understood. Richard Estes: Cityscapes brings together some half dozen paintings of New York produced over 40 years which challenge our understanding of the built environment and unveil a new appreciation for the city and its many facets of life.</p><p>Richard Estes' Walgreens demonstrates his innovative approach to photorealist painting through his signature "slant/reflections" technique. By positioning his viewpoint at an angle to the storefront, Estes creates a visual puzzle where the transparent glass reveals the store's interior while simultaneously reflecting the street scene outside. This compositional strategy transforms a mundane drugstore facade into a meditation on urban perception and reality. Though deeply informed by photography, Estes transcends mere mechanical reproduction. He uses photographs as preliminary sketches, allowing him to construct intricate visuals that exceed what a single photograph could capture. Walgreens epitomizes how Estes elevates everyday urban scenes into complex statements about perception, reality, and representation, making him not simply a photorealist but a keen observer and interpreter of modern urban life.</p><p><br></p>" />

Stuart Davis</a> greets the viewer with the accessible demeanor of a populist. Hidden in the complexity of his compositions, there lives a rare art. One collaged together by shorthand truths. The kind of art capable of meaningfully transposing the shared awareness of a changing America. By simplifying the contours of everyday items, like gas pumps and road signs, Davis sketched the foreground of ordinary people's lives. He gave dignity and direction to the vantage point of midcentury Americans navigating the evermore unfamiliar and artificial landscape they had come to inhabit.</p><p>Stuart Davis was a pioneering modernist whose career spanned American art's shift from early 20th-century realism to the cool abstractions of the 1950s. Born in Philadelphia and raised in East Orange, New Jersey, Davis studied under Robert Henri, teacher of the Ashcan School, inspiring his early focus on urban life and social realism. The 1913 Armory Show introduced Davis to European modernism, sparking a transformation influenced by artists like Matisse and Picasso. By the late 1920s, Davis began incorporating abstraction, vibrant color, and elements of American consumer culture, culminating in his iconic "eggbeater" series. His style drew from Cubism and Precisionism, translating industrial objects into rhythmic, jazz-inspired compositions. His work reflected a deep engagement with contemporary culture, blending visual art with the improvisational energy of jazz music. Davis contributed to the Federal Art Project during the Great Depression and taught at institutions like the Art Students League and Yale University. His innovative use of line, color, and consumer imagery anticipated movements like Pop Art, influencing artists from Roy Lichtenstein to Keith Haring. Davis's work is held in major collections, including the Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art.</p><p><br></p>" />
