Swing Landscape
An insightful study of the progressive politics animating a great work of modernist mural paintingIn 1936 the Works Progress Administration's Federal Art Project commissioned Stuart Davis (1892-1964) to paint a mural for the Williamsburg Houses, a New York City housing project. This study explores the painting, one of the greatest of twentieth-century America and arguably Davis's most ambitious work.This book challenges the prevailing tendency to separate Davis's leftist activism from his art and contextualizes Swing Landscape within 1930s abstract mural painting in New York, emphasizing the politics of abstraction. Though the mural, Swing Landscape, was never installed in its intended location, it survives as an impressive testament to Davis's energetic, colorful brand of abstraction and the progressive politics that animated it.
