Questions about this Print

The size you set is the printed image, the part you see once the canvas is stretched. Beyond that size we add 1.2 in of blank canvas on every side, at no extra cost, so the stretcher bars have something to grip. A 10.7 × 21.7 in print therefore arrives as 13.1 × 24 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 14.9 × 29.9 in, always in the proportions of the original. If you need something larger, or a size that has to fit a frame you already own, write to us with the title and the dimensions and we will tell you what is possible. Every print is made to order, so there is usually a way.

Because the original is an oil painting on canvas. We match the print medium to the original: oil paintings go on canvas, works on paper go on fine art paper. Our canvas is natural cotton, 400 g/m² Canvas, acid-free and pH neutral, and its woven texture gives the most natural impression of Stuart Davis's original oil painting. The finish is satin/gloss, which keeps the depth of the dark tones the way varnish does on a painting in a museum; a matte canvas looks dull and pale next to it. More about our print media.

Start with the original, which measures 220.3 × 439.7 cm. A print at or near that size reads the way the artist judged it. Printing smaller is easy; enlarging a small original changes its character. For the wall, above a sofa or a sideboard aim for two thirds to three quarters of the furniture width, and hang the center at eye level. Cut paper to size and tape it to the wall before you order. The original hangs in Indiana University Art Museum, Bloomington, USA. Full size guide.

About the Painting

Alright, let's talk about "Swing Landscape" by Stuart Davis. This 1938 stunner is a riot of color and shape that'll make your eyes dance. It's like Davis took the jazzy rhythms of his era and smashed them onto canvas.

Picture this: a jumble of geometric forms, all elbowing for space. Bright reds, yellows, and blues jostle against muted greens and grays. It's urban chaos, but there's a method to the madness.

Davis has chopped up the city and reassembled it. You can almost pick out bits of buildings, street signs, and maybe even musical instruments. But nothing's quite where it should be. It's like he's rearranging reality to suit his own wild vision.

The composition? It's a balancing act on the edge of mayhem. Vertical lines clash with diagonals. Curves swoop in to break up the angles. Your gaze ricochets around, never settling.

And those colors - they sing. Davis isn't afraid to slap a bold red right next to a cool blue. It shouldn't work, but it does. It's the visual equivalent of a brass section hitting a high note.

Technique-wise, Davis is all about flat planes and sharp edges. No wishy-washy brushstrokes here. It's clean, it's bold, it's modern. You can see why they call him a proto-pop artist.

"Swing Landscape" isn't just a painting - it's a visual jazz solo. It's the 1930s in America, with all its energy and discord, laid bare on canvas. Davis has taken the pulse of his time and turned it into art that still throbs with life nearly a century later.
