Label TextStuart Davis visited Paris for the first and only time in 1928-29. He arrived in the “city of light” already confident in developing his distinctive style, informed by the speed, lights, and sounds of life in New York City and especially by Cubism. Once abroad, Davis applied his understanding of Cubism’s compressed space to the French city’s network of narrow streets. Rue de l’Echaudé, based on this urban landscape, is one of a series of richly textured compositions inspired by his French experience.

Stuart Davis visitó París por primera y única vez entre 1928 y 1929. Llegó a la “ciudad de las luces” ya seguro de que desarrollaría un estilo característico, inspirado en la velocidad, las luces y los sonidos de la vida en la Ciudad de Nueva York y, especialmente, en el cubismo. Una vez en el exterior, Davis aplicó su interpretación del espacio comprimido del cubismo a la red de calles angostas de la ciudad francesa. Rue de l’Echaudé, que se basa en este paisaje urbano, forma parte de una serie de composiciones de ricas texturas inspiradas en su experiencia en Francia.
