Historical Artist - Arthur Bowen Davies (1862 - 1928)
American artist, Arthur Bowen Davies worked as a painter, printmaker and tapestry designer,
acquiring a healthy reputation as an artist and also as a supporter of avant-garde art. His work
was conservative and he was a member of The Eight. Most of the other members of this group
preferred to paint urban scenes, while Davies produced landscapes with nudes and mythological
animals. The artists of the Pre-Raphaelite movement and also Whistler and Puvis de Chavannes
inspired him. In addition, Davies was the president of the Association of American Painters and
Sculptors, a group dedicated to organizing the Armory Show. After the show, Davies’s work
turned Cubist for a short time before he reverted back to his traditional style in the
1920’s.
