Designed as a companion to the hugely successful monograph Noah
Davis, this volume offers further insight into the impact and
legacy of the revolutionary Los Angeles artist and activist.
---------- “Embedding his dreams on canvas and in the community,
visionary American artist Noah Davis created a mighty legacy.”
— Rachel Willcock, ArtReview (2022) ---------- Looking to
literature, film, architecture, and art history, Noah Davis imbued
his ethereal paintings with emotion and imagination. Muted colors,
fantastic scenes, and blurred subjects create an intoxicating
vision. Attuned to the power of his medium, Davis layered his
paintings—figuratively and literally—using a unique dry paint
application to depict quotidian life at an enigmatic, almost
magical remove. Featuring sumptuous close-ups throughout, this
important new book brings into focus the rich, painterly variety
and luminous detail of Davis’s canvases. With a special focus on
the groundbreaking Underground Museum, which Noah Davis co-founded
with his wife, Karon Davis, Noah Davis: In Detail includes a
special conversation, moderated by Helen Molesworth, between Fred
Moten, Glenn Ligon, Thomas Lax, and Julie Mehretu. This renowned
group of artists and thinkers share personal experiences of the
powerful and emotional impact of The Underground Museum and its
connection to the larger artistic environs of Los Angeles. Franklin
Sirmans contributes a new essay and Lindsay Charlwood, a lifelong
friend of Noah’s, authors a chronology of his life,
contextualizing his artistic and social achievements.
