拍品專文

Alan Davie is one of Britain's leading post-war artists, recently honoured in a survey exhibition at the Tate Gallery, St Ives. Davie's oeuvre reflects his wide-ranging interests, from the Surrealists and the work of the CoBrA group to jazz music and ancient cultures and religions. Primitive art has exerted a profound influence on Davie's manner of painting since the mid-1950s, allowing him to discover a new spontaneity and exuberant use of colour, which is brilliantly and ebulliently manifest in Dragon Hook.
