"A Portal of the Night," "Mystic Dalliance," are all of them creations
of an essentially poetic and literary
mind. They
are all splendid titles for a real book of legendary
experience. The poet will be first to feel the
accuracy of lyrical emotion in these titles. The paintings lead one
away entirely into the land of legend, into the iridescent splendor

of reflection. They take
one out of a world of
didactic monotone, as to their artistic significance. They are
essentially pictures created for the purpose of transportation. From
the earlier days in that underground gallery on Fifth Avenue near
Twenty-seventh Street to
the present time, there has been a constantly flowing production of

lyrical simplicity and purification. One can never think of Davies as
one thinks of Courbet and of Cezanne, where the intention is first and
last a technically esthetic one; especially in Cezanne, whose object
was the removal of all significance from painting other than that of
painting for itself. With Cezanne it was problem. One

might even say it was the removal of personality. With Davies you are
aware that it is
an entirely intimate personal life he is presenting;
a life entirely away from discussion, from all sense of problem; they
are not problematic at all, his pictures; they have lyrical serenity
