Everything's seem to be ok. Good to go.
Stuart Davis (1892..1964) A part of America's transition from Form, Shape and Color, to self designed Form, Shape and Color. His descriptions of how he constructed his compositions made him a lovable, chain-smoking curmudgeon. I like his self-portraits. Davis, who painted his entire life, saw "Modern" art at the 1913 Armory Show of European artists in NY. By the mid 1920's, he had merged on to his new path. He lived a year in France (1928), and a father at 62.

He never knew fame (We know the names of others). But he was thoroughly recognized. And I think his answer following the question below, although not fully inclusive, properly states what an artist's motivation should be.
_________________________________________________-do you care what the so-called average man in the street thinks, or sees, of that painting?"
SD: "Not when I make it, but the more men in the street who enjoy it after I do it, well, the happier I"ll be..."
