Stuart Davis

Barber Shop Chord
1931

Black and white abstract print featuring a collage of various shapes and patterns that suggest elements of an urban streetscape, including buildings, signs with the words "Café" and "SHOP," and a fire hydrant. The composition is a mix of geometric and curvilinear forms, creating a dynamic and somewhat surreal scene. The artist's signature is visible in the bottom right corner.
