Davidson studied at the Art Institute of Chicago, with painters in Provincetown, Massachusetts, and eventually in Paris. He became a leader in the cause of abstract painting through his teaching in New York City and Provincetown, his influential books -- Understanding Modern Art (1931) and An Approach to Modern Painting (1948) -- and his own widely exhibited work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo essays address Davidson's place in New York and in Provincetown, a memoir of his Cape Cod art school and studio captures his private world, and a catalog of twenty-five exemplary works illuminates his varied production.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vanderbilt University Fine Arts Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47038111645936,"sku":"9781625342881","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781625342881_p0.jpg?v=1763867096","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781625342881","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
