This print relates to Davie's 'Image of the Fish God' (National Galleries of Scotland, GMA 4264).
"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 [including one in the Tate Collection, 1956; T01748]. 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."
