Artist Biography: Arthur Bowen Davies was born in Utica, New York, and studied at
the Chicago Academy of Design. He traveled to Europe many times throughout his
life, and eventually settled in Florence, Italy. Davies is known for a style that
combined the visionary with Symbolism, with elements of Tonalism, Art Nouveau,
and Cubism. Throughout his career, he became increasing interested in expressing a
feeling of lightness in figural compositions. Davies was well respected and widely
collected in his day. The Metropolitan Museum of Art held a memorial exhibition for
him two years after his death, and his work is currently represented in more than 100 museums internationally.
