Notes:
Alan Davie is regarded as one of Scotland's most important artists of the twentieth century due to his experimentation with different cultural imageries and for recognising the significance of American Abstract Expressionism.
The 1960s proved to be a fruitful time for Alan Davie. His success enabled him to give up teaching and acquire a house in Cornwall. This extra time and space allowed Davie to return to his 1950 works which were influenced by Zen Buddhist principles; basic symbols of which (ie. the circle) were used to represent objects such as targets and the sun.
These quasi symbolic shapes were revisited in the 1960s and Davie began to look at works in which avatars were synonymous with the artist, namely Marc Chagall. The present work is mature example of Davie’s ability to interpret existing motifs and engage these with symbols of his own creation.
