 Foulke Considered One of America's Greatest Painters
Stuart Davis' father, along with Robert Henri, were part of the group of eight persons who later formed the famous painters school in New York, known as the Ashcan School.
Davis was considered an urban man and, when he returned to New York, he took up his work of transforming the city into art.
In February, 1913, at the age of 20, Stuart Davis was selected by the American painter William Glackens to have five of Davis' watercolors included in the International Exhibition of Modern Art, known thereafter as the Armory Show held at the 69th Regiment Armory in New York City.

 DAVIES
Davis was a passionate lover of jazz and the dynamism of this music was to infuse much of his work, most famously in the vibrant 'Swing Landscape' (1938).
Stuart Davis is regarded as the most important American painter working in a Cubist idiom.
Davis' early works include street and bar-room scenes in the spirit of the Ashcan school, many of its exponents such as Gluckens, Luks and Shinn having worked on his father's newspaper.

 WebMuseum: Davis, Stuart
Davis is generally considered to be the outstanding American artist to work in a Cubist idiom.
The zest and dynamism of such works reflect his interest in jazz.
He made witty and original use of it and created a distinctive American style, for however abstract his works became he always claimed that every image he used had its source in observed reality: `I paint what I see in America, in other words I paint the American Scene.'

Stuart Davis: The Breakthrough Years, 1922-1924, Salander-O'Reilly Galleries, 1987, p.
The 1924 exhibition is not being suggested to enforce Lissitzky's influence on Davis but it can be used to suggest that a painting like Super Table, although it predates the Brooklyn exhibition, does not necessarily disprove the main thesis.
