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 (28 September 1920 – 5 April 2014) was a Scottish painter and musician. Although Peggy Guggenheim in Venice bought two of his paintings and the works in his exhibition in New York in 1956 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 indicated a preference for paper—Davie also produced various screen prints. He had already found an audience earlier on the European mainland and in America, even before the British art public could reconcile themselves with his combination of old and newly invented symbols. In his lectures, Davie emphasized the importance of improvisation as his primary method; his stance 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 shop, celebrating its 85th anniversary year. Furthermore we make use of 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.
