Art Theory Text with Types A and B Configuration Diagrams

Curator: This handwritten page, "Art Theory Text with Types A and B Configuration Diagrams," from 1943 by Stuart Davis, is like a peek into the artist's mind. It's a fascinating jumble of text and diagrams on paper. Editor: I’m struck by how raw and immediate it feels, almost like a stream of consciousness. What do you make of Davis's "types" and "configurations"? Curator: I think he's attempting to dissect and codify the underlying structures that give rise to visual harmony, like a musician deconstructing a melody. It's a lovely thought, don’t you think? Editor: Absolutely, it gives new meaning to his colorful paintings. Thanks for sharing your perspective. Curator: My pleasure. It's always a joy to see these intimate glimpses into an artist's creative process.
