Image of the Fish God (series) [Opus D.379] 1954
  • Scottish Art
Image of the Fish God' is one of a group of brush drawings in oil paint which led to a series of seven paintings of the same title. Like all Davie?s drawings of this period, the 'Image of the Fish God' drawings were made as a series. Davie would place a dozen or so sheets of paper on the floor, make a similar mark or motif on each, and then add further marks and motifs serially and automatically, continually varying and changing the placement and forms. This would result in a group of drawings featuring a common vocabulary of forms.
