Demuth’s botanical watercolours are some of the finest of the twentieth century. Red Poppies (1929), Pears (1929), Distinguished Air (1930) & Chimney & Water Tower (1931). The sailors are looking at a sculpture of Princess X by Brâncusi
He instituted a new idea in creating shapes & forms to paint unusual portraits of his friends - including his masterpiece- Figure 5. Roses (1926), Calla Lilies (1926), My Egypt (1927), I Saw the Figure 5 in Gold (1928)
The artist captured the vibe of the Roaring Twenties. Modern Conveniences (1921), Rue du Singe Qui Pêche (1921), Eggplant (1922-3), Dove (1924)
Demuth integrated the styles he had experienced in France with American realism to create unique & characteristic images of Pennsylvania. Sailboats (1919), Stairs (1920), Lancaster (1920) & the Tower (1920)
Demuth also created a series where he depicted the social life around the time of day. Dancer with Chorus (1918), Eight O Clock (1917) & Acrobats (1916)
On his return from Paris he began a series of watercolours that are highly respected for their beauty. Bicycle Acrobats (1917), Sail: In Two Movements (1919), Dancing Sailors (1918) & Two Tumblers (1917)
Another influence on Demuth was Toulouse Lautrec for his circus images & Cezanne/Picasso for his architecture. The Circus (1917), Vaudeville (1917), Bermuda (1917) & At a House In Harley Street (1918)
An idea of the kind of homoerotic images Demuth created is given in his Turkish baths. Nana (1916), The Shine (1916), Turkish Baths (1916) & Trees & Houses (1916)
