Catalogue Essay
In 1936, Davis’ lithograph Anchor was published by the American Artists School, an institution that had opened earlier that year at 131 West 14th Street, for the avowed purpose of “[making] the student conscious of his social and economic environment, and to instruct him in suitable methods for its presentation.” Anchor was one of several printed issued as part of a fund-raising effort by the School.
