Color-Space Diagrams 1941

Editor: Here we have "Color-Space Diagrams" by Stuart Davis. It's undated and looks like pencil on paper. There's something quite calming about these geometric shapes; almost like a secret code. What do you make of it? Curator: Calm is a great word. For me, it's like peering into Davis's mind, seeing how he deconstructs color relationships. Imagine him, wrestling with hue and saturation, distilling it into these elegant diamonds. Does it remind you of anything? Editor: Sort of, like a simplified color wheel, maybe? Curator: Precisely! Think of it as a painter trying to map out the stars in their own color universe. He is charting his own course, wouldn't you say? Editor: Definitely makes me see it in a new light. Curator: That's what makes art so darn interesting.
