The Philadelphia born artist spent time in New England and Paris before becoming an established artist in New York City. Davis was interested in social and political issues after returning from Europe and eventually headed an artist’s union. In addition to his bold paintings and murals, Davis published a number of graphic works. Prints made during Davis’s life are hand signed and numbered, while those made after his lifetime are unsigned, limited edition prints. Though his lithographs are usually black and white, his serigraphs mimic the brightness of his gouache paintings.
