  • Contemporary & Post-War Art (474) Lot
    Contemporary & Post-War Art (474) Thu, 18th Aug 2016, Edinburgh Lot 132 Estimate: £3000 - £5000 + Fees § ALEXANDER GOUDIE R.P., R.G.I. (SCOTTISH 1933- 2004) ROYAL OPERA HOUSE Signed, oil on canvas 48cm x 86cm (19in x 34in) Note: 'I have always lived through my art and in a sense to really taste life to the full I am obliged to put a line around it. Since early childhood this has been my lot, everything which excited my imagination had to be set down in pictorial terms, a magic world where a different language helps explore and explain as well as heighten the experience of living.' And so Alexander Goudie outlines his understanding of art, as an all-pervasive force that allowed him to fully engage in life and all that it had to offer. It is no surprise, then, that Goudie painted across genres, found inspiration in music and literature as well as visual experience, was keen to collaborate on projects in different spheres, and remained a dedicated dandy. After training at Glasgow School of Art, he spent time travelling in Europe on a scholarship, where he encountered art that inspired him, as well as being to his taste, by artists like Rodin and Courbet. He liked to see, and attempt, mastery in painting but in a more conventional way; remaining uninspired by 20th century artistic movements, such as cubism or futurism. He has been described as 'an old- fashioned painter,' and for a man who felt that his job as an artist was 'to simply to tell a story in pictures and to speak with a clear voice,' presumably this was a compliment.

  • Renowned Engineer & Bridge Builder Sir William Arrol Is Featured In
    Renowned Engineer & Bridge Builder Sir William Arrol is Featured in National Science & Engineering Week 2014 : Building Bridges : Rozelle House, Ayr : 22 & 23 March 2014 Friends of Seafield House (FoSH) is pleased to be participating for a second year in South Ayrshire Council’s National Science & Engineering Week programme, which takes place at Rozelle House over the weekend of 22 & 23 March 2014. FoSH is contributing a two-cabinet display exhibition on renowned engineer & bridge builder Sir William Arrol (1839-1913) whose home for many years was Seafield House in Ayr. It is fitting that Sir William Arrol is featured in this year’s “Building Bridges” programme, given the Scottish Government’s recent submission of its bid to UNESCO for World Heritage status for the Forth Rail Bridge, one of Sir William Arrol’s construction marvels. “Building Bridges” is one of two themes that South Ayrshire Council has chosen for its programme in National Science & Engineering Week 2014 under the event title “Steps to Discovery 2014: Bicycles, Bridges and Beyond”. Our contribution focuses on three of Sir William’s iconic bridges: the Forth Rail Bridge, Middlesborough Transporter Bridge & London Tower Bridge. In partnership with the Meccano Society of Scotland, FoSH is offering bridge building activity and the opportunity to see working scale models of these Arrol bridges made by Meccano Society of Scotland members. FoSH Committee Member Kirsty Menzies has sourced the film “The River is Spanned”, a reconstruction of the building of the Forth Rail Bridge using original photographs. Made in 1950, the film is shown by courtesy of filmmaker Harry Birrell & the Scottish Screen Archive.

    Scottish Tradition Vol. 27 2002 WORKING CLASS CULTURE, FAMILY LIFE AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ON CLYDESIDE, C 1918-1939: A VIEW FROM BELOW. ‘People have no idea how the poor lived in those days. They seemed to be at loggerheads all the time.’ 1 he inter-war years were distinguished by marked changes that affected the lives and neighbourhoods of Tmany working class men and women. These changes would prove to have positive and negative implications for working-class family life. New employment opportunities extended the breadth of jobs open to working class people, espe- cially in the new consumer industries that employed significant numbers of women. Correspondingly, the commercialisation of leisure expanded the possibilities of pleasure. Information on birth control and the greater ease of availability of contraceptives also offered a better potential to postpone marriage and reduce family size. Yet, the new employment opportunities did little to alter the ‘pin money’ wages of women and women’s economic dependency on marriage. Marriage was still seen as an attractive alternative to employment in the longer term.2 Marriage and motherhood were actively promoted as the natural and fulfilling aspirations for women by the state, state agencies, the clergy, religious organisations and the media. Adding to the appeal was the ideal of the ‘companionate marriage’ in which husbands were expected to share chores, child-care, leisure and provide love and companionship. It seems that this was a ‘fairly norma- tive’ aspiration amongst many sectors of the working class between the wars, at least amongst women. Change, however, was not just ideological.3 After World War I, the building of ‘homes fit for heroes’ and the growth of ‘new garden cities’, were linked with ideals of the companionate marriage, maternalism, privacy, respectable domesticity and the growth of male home- centred pastimes.
