Three Moon Prints by Robert Davidson

These are rare prints to begin with, but it is especially rare to find all three together. We have 141/364 (turquoise on black), 72/248 (turquoise on cream), and 208/274 (red on black). All prints are unframed and will be shipped flat. Each print is signed by Robert. Please note that all of these were previously framed and are over 40 years old. Each one displays a few dimples and imperfections, but there are no major creases or dents. The price reflects these imperfections. All sales final.

Davidson had a neighbour in Whonnock who was enamoured by the crescent moon and they would talk about its significance.

"I began to study the moon more closely and instinctively looked up when I was out at night. It was at a time when I was questioning my art and wondering if I was expressing anything. I realized that part of the human experience is communicating with the hands, which I do as an artist. I saw the hands which form the mouth as me expressing through my hands. So this design helped me to see myself, a form of self-portrait. I made several versions, partly because I liked the different colours as well as the phases of the moon, and the changing moods that mark my experience."
