BiographyBorn in New York, he began his studies at the Chicago Institute of Design. Returning to New York he studied at the Art Students League. In 1893, Davies went abroad where he absorbed influence from the venetians, the pre-Raphelites, Delacroix and Puvis de Chavannes. He characteristically paints idyllic, idealized figures in Romantic landscapes. Though his pictures were conservative, his sympathies laid with the more radical artists. He organized the 1913 Armory show. His subsequent paintings were influenced by the geometric style.
