Stuart Davis in Havana is an exhibition of ten evocative early watercolors painted in 1920 following Stuart Davis’ brief yet formative trip to Cuba, where the artist convalesced after contracting Spanish flu. Curated by Priscilla Vail Caldwell in collaboration with Earl Davis and the Estate of Stuart Davis, the exhibition also presents a trove of archival material documenting the artist’s trip including postcards, lottery tickets, and the painter’s passport.
