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 in Venice purchased two of his paintings and the works in his exhibition in New York in 1956 sold out completely, he did not gain recognition and commercial success in Great Britain until 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 several screenprints. He had already found an audience earlier on the European mainland and in America, before the British art public could reconcile itself with his combination of old and newly invented symbols. In his lectures Davie emphasized the importance of improvisation as his primary 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 year. Furthermore we make use of restorers from the professional association: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you would like to make use of this, of course we would be happy to hear from you.
