Label TextStuart Davis painted urban scenes using bold color and contrasting passages of light and dark. His style parallels the improvisational musical patterns of jazz , which he loved. Davis’s Self-Portrait creates a dynamic pattern of right angles that define his face, and his typically bright color combinations are absent here. The figure has been intentionally separated from the outside world, suggesting a separation between Davis's public and private lives.
