The Amazing Continuity provides an engaging introduction to the life and works of Stuart Davis, but it will be more truly valued by those already familiar with his work who would like to increase their appreciation of it, for it is in the material presented here -- in Davis’s drawings, sketchbooks, and notebooks -- that we get the most intimate look at the mind of the artist.  Published in conjunction with the exhibition of the same name organized by the American Federation of Arts that toured the US from 1992 through 1994, The Drawings of Stuart Davis covers the entire length of Davis’s career: from 1909 pencil sketches of industry amidst domesticity through to his casein on paper roughs of the early 1960s.  As with any overview of Davis, you can’t help but get caught up in watching his development unfold.  The transitional developments are especially apparent in some of the drawings and studies for his paintings that are contained in this volume.
