While recovering from the Spanish flu in 1920, iconic American modernist painter Stuart Davis made a short trip to Cuba, recording its people and places in a series of alluring watercolors now on view at Chelsea’s Kasmin Gallery. Often pictured in silhouette, Davis’ figures appear to be glimpsed in passing. Suffused with light-infused, warm tones, the paintings evidence the intrigue of an unfamiliar environment. (On view through Aug 13th.)
