1934, Stuart Davis, Men and Machine -- Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York)
From the museum label: Davis captured the energy and bustle of city life through overlapping geometric and linear forms rendered in a bright palette. Here, two men- perhaps a foreman and an investor-stand side by side looking at a construction site. Davis's allusion to the construction boom in New York is neither celebratory nor critical, but rather served as a means of stylistic experimentation with abstraction.
