Richard Davis (richarddavissculptor.com) visited Mexico and the American Southwest in 1940. He was immediately influenced by the appearance and the ways of the Mexican people and by Native American arts and crafts. On return to his studio, he carved a Mexican man and woman directly in gray granite. The man stands 19 inches and is polished smooth; the woman is 20 inches and the stone was left rough. The couple are dressed as rural folk, farmers, or peasants. These sculptures were exhibited in 1941 at Georg Jensen Inc., New York City, and elsewhere.
