AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This is a work by Alan Davie that is printed on both sides; on one of the two sides there is a poem. James Alan Davie (September 28, 1920 – April 5, 2014) was a Scottish painter and musician. Although Peggy Guggenheim bought two of his paintings in Venice and the works in his 1956 New York exhibition sold out completely, he only gained recognition and commercial success in Great Britain after his exhibitions in 1958 at the Wakefield Art Gallery and the Whitechapel Gallery. In addition to painting, both on canvas and on paper—where he himself stated a preference for paper—Davie also produced various screen prints. He had already found an audience on the European continent and in America, even before the British art public could come to terms with his combination of old and newly invented symbols. In his lectures, Davie emphasized the importance of improvisation as his main method; his attitude was that of an inspired seer who resisted the influence of an overly rational civilization.

Dimensions: 41 x 29 cm

Viewing is, of course, possible. In addition, we have our own in-house framing workshop, which is celebrating its 85th anniversary. Furthermore we use restorers from the professional association: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you would like to make use of this, we would of course be happy to hear from you.
