1974

This triptych consists of three related screenprints collectively known as the Black Watch Series, created in 1974. Each work features Davis's signature bold vertical stripes in a carefully orchestrated color palette. The series showcases the artist's mastery of color field painting translated into the screenprint medium. These works demonstrate Davis's exploration of how colors interact and vibrate when placed in close proximity. The Black Watch Series represents a significant moment in Davis's career of systematic color exploration.
