Oil on canvas, 1955. 255x410 mm; 10 1/4x16 1/4 inches. Signed and dated in oil, upper right recto. Davies (born 1925) is a noted American still life and trompe l'oeil artist. A significant retrospective of his work, "Ken Davies: 35 Years, A New Bedford Homecoming," was organized by the Whaling Museum, New Bedford, MA, in 1983 (also Davies' hometown). He was taught fine art at the Whitney School of Art and the Paier School, both in New Haven, Connecticut, and he served as the Dean at the latter. Davies has also had success as a graphic design artist; he created the logo for the Wild Turkey bourbon brand.
