" This publication is the first to explore in depth the fascinating encounter and cross-influences between painters of different generations meeting on equal terms, shedding light on both. The two artists are rightly given equal billing here, with Davie's vibrant, intuitive, improvisational and painterly pictures in dialogue with the touchingly personal, autobiographical and sexually charged works of the early 1960s through which Hockney first found his voice as a modern artist. "
Marco Livingstone
" The Hepworth Wakefield are delighted to present a richly illustrated new publication, which provides an original perspective on the remarkable work of these two greats of post-war painting and explores their significant artistic careers.
After encountering the work of Alan Davie (1920 - 2014) during a major retrospective at the former Wakefield Art Gallery in 1958, a young David Hockney (b. 1937) was struck by Davie's landmark Abstract Expressionist paintings which stimulated his own experimentation with colourful abstraction. "
