The harbor and fishing industries in Gloucester, Massachusetts, attracted Stuart Davis’s attention, and he repeatedly depicted them, focusing particularly on Gloucester’s docks during the 1930s in works like Fishing Equipment . This drawing shows Davis’s linear style and his use of mainly primary colors along with black and white, both of which were typical of his work at the time.
