Angle Theory Diagrams 1932

Editor: This intriguing piece is Stuart Davis's "Angle Theory Diagrams." It feels almost like a secret code, a visual equation written on paper. What do you make of this, its angles and handwritten notes? Curator: A secret code, yes! It's Davis wrestling with Cubism, trying to crack its very structure. See how he’s mapping out the “order” within rectangles? He’s dissecting reality into angles, searching for its underlying geometry. It’s like he’s saying, "Even chaos has a blueprint, a hidden logic we can decipher." Editor: So, it's less about what he sees and more about how he sees? Curator: Precisely! The "how" becomes the subject. He’s not painting a bowl of fruit; he’s painting the *idea* of a bowl of fruit, broken down into its angular essence. It makes you wonder, doesn’t it, what other hidden orders we're missing? Editor: It does! I guess even a simple rectangle can hold a universe of thought.
