Alan Davie C.B.E., R.A., H.R.S.A. (Scottish, 1920-2014) Village Myths drawing 283 Black ink on paper Gimpel Fils Gallery label on reverse Exhibition - Loft Gallery 1984 Acquired from Gimpel Fils Gallery London Framed Measures approx. 30cm x 36cm (12" x 14") Alan Davie (1920-2014) was a Scottish painter and musician. Born in Grangemouth and having studied at Edinburgh College of Art, Davie worked initially as a jazz musician. A large focus of his work was spontaneous mark making, arguing that his spiritual path was incompatible with planning ahead. His work often blends the abstract and the figurative, influenced by Pictish symbol stones, Jungian psychoanalysis, maps, Aboriginal art, contemporary abstract painters and music. Davie's work can now be found in collections all over the world, including the Art Institute of Chicago, National Galleries of Scotland, Peggy Guggenheim Museum in Venice, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Harvard University Art Museums, and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. This lot is also sold subject to Artists Resale Rights, details of which can be found in our Terms and Conditions.
