Harold Christopher Davies
Harold Christopher Davies began his formal art education at the age of 14, enrolling at the Corcoran Art Institute in Washington D.C. Later he continued his studies at the San Francisco Art Institute. An Abstract Expressionist, his style was directly influenced by Paul Cézanne, Arshile Gorky and Willem 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.

Mr. He was best known for gargantuan images or irises, roses, lilies and other flowers, which he often depicted in close up so that their petals seemed to fill the canvas. Dramatic, implicitly sexual and a little ominous, they earned the artist a popularity with the general public that tended to overshadow his reputation within the art world. In 1980, the United States Postal Service issued four stamps based on Mr. Nesbitt's floral paintings. He also served as the official artist for the space flights of Apollo 9 and Apollo 13...Category
