Associated Names
Stuart Davis

Artist, American, 1892 - 1964

The image is taken from street level, showing a street lined with buildings. The street curves towards the center, with tall structures creating an implied horizon. The technique used is detailed linear with cross-hatching for texture. There is a kiosk with "SUZE" and abstract symbols, next to a building labeled "Hotel de France." The color palette is monochromatic, focusing on black and white shades. Spirals and lines add movement, and shadows create depth and guide the eye through the scene.
