Description from the seller
This is a work by Alan Davie that is printed on both sides; on one of the two faces there is a poem. James Alan Davie (28 September 1920 – 5 April 2014) was a Scottish painter and musician. Although Peggy Guggenheim purchased two of his paintings in Venice and the works in his New York exhibition 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 several silkscreens. He had already found an audience earlier on the European mainland 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 principal working method; his stance was that of an inspired seer who resisted the influence of a too rational civilization.
Dimensions: 41 x 29 cm
Viewing is of course possible. In addition, we have our own in-house frame-making workshop, which is celebrating its 85th anniversary year. Furthermore, we use restorers from the professional association: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you would like to make use of this, we would of course be pleased to hear from you.
