| Bertha G. Davis |
Bertha G. Davis [1911 - 1997] was born in Lithuania and raised in Europe and Mexico. She married Irving Davis and moved to the United States in the 1930s. Davis became an American citizen and lived in the U.S.A. until the time of her death at 86 years of age.
Davis
began painting at the age of 40. She produced a large and
stylistically varied body of work that includes romantic
expressionism, abstraction, and surrealism.
With
almost 200 one-woman and group shows to her credit, Davis won
recognition in the U.S., Latin America, Canada and Europe. Her
paintings are widely collected and are included in private, corporate
and museum collections around the world.
Paris
art critic and journalist Pierre Mormant wrote of her work, "Bertha
Davis evokes the luminosity of wintry lights and ethereal mists,"
transmitting "a true and certain joy of living."
