About the Item
Harold Christopher Davies (1891-1976) abstract painting.
Signed lower right, circa 1960s
Measures: 18 1/4" H x 8 3/4" W
Oil on paper, unframed
Davies began his formal art education at the age of 14, enrolling in the Corcoran Art Institute in Washington, D.C. Later he continued his studies at the San Francisco Institute of Art.
An abstract Expressionist, his style was directly influenced by Cezanne, Gorky and de Kooning. Painting, for Davies, was not a means of earning his living. Though he exhibited frequently at various local colleges and museums, he never sought public recognition of his talent. He believed fame compromised the integrity of an artist's work. Davies earned his living as a businessman, eventually owning and operating his own chemical company. He lived a life of balancing his monetary obligations with the true love of his life: painting.
After living in a variety of cities around the United States, Davies moved to Inverness, California in 1969 where he was free to devote all his time to his art in his last years.
