What Our Customers Say...

Description

First Edition, Illustrated, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding

In the publisher's original pictorial cloth binding.

This catalogue accompanied the 1997 exhibitions of Davie’s drawings at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art in Edinburgh, from the 8th February to 20th April, and subsequently at the University of Brighton Gallery during the Brighton Festival, which ran from the 3rd to the 31st of May.

This is a profusely illustrated volume of Davie’s drawings, with 155 illustrations across double sided monochrome and colour plates. Collated, complete. 

Alan Davie (1920–2014) was a prolific Scottish painter and musician renowned for his intuitive, symbol-laden abstraction informed by myths, multiple cultural traditions, and jazz improvisation.
