I am interested in artists that use bold colourful blocks to relate a story and meaning to its chosen audience. I came across Stuart Davis’ work in an art book and was interested straight away leading to me to look a little further online to see that he had actually produced a number of paintings for his series all produced in a similar way. This made me think that the way Davis produced his work was just alike the way that a fashion designer produces a collection all circulating around one source of inspiration, this case being an egg beater for Davis himself. I wanted to find out more about the meanings behind the set so went to a reliable website to help, I looked into Boston’s Museum of fine art which allowed me to gain a stronger knowledge behind his inspiration and reasoning behind what he did. I discovered that in 1927 Davis attached an electric fan, a rubber glove and an egg beater to a table which later resulted in four paintings being produced all in an abstract manner not resembling the objects at all allowing his audience to have to look a little deeper and further and come up with their own judgments. He became known as a modernist after this due to him enhancing people’s eyes and minds to the areas of the unknown and making people’s judgements and ideas always change. By doing this task I have been inspired to take this into my own work and make people look at my creations in a different way allowing a modernistic approach to my products. This task was interesting and made me look at a relating theme in different areas. Looking at Davis’ work in a book then online made me feel like I already had a sense of knowledge towards his work and the way he liked to produce his skill to his audience.
