Notes

In Henry Davies' impressive stylistic range, dominant forms might be rigid, calculated and hard-edged, or sky-reaching, organic and rounded like those of Flowerbox, the present lot. This work shows the artist’s attention to detail, his technical care and his broad imagination. With the output of the likes of Peter Schütz, Keith Alexander and Jeremy Wafer (all of them contemporaries or students of Davies) in mind, it also gives an indication of his significant influence.
