  • JD Fergusson: a Dramatic Fusion of Art, Nationality and Modernism
    Riach, A. (2016) JD Fergusson: A dramatic fusion of art, nationality and modernism. National, 2016, 18 March. This is the author’s final accepted version. There may be differences between this version and the published version. You are advised to consult the publisher’s version if you wish to cite from it. http://eprints.gla.ac.uk/150161/ Deposited on: 19 October 2017 Enlighten – Research publications by members of the University of Glasgow http://eprints.gla.ac.uk J.D. Fergusson – Art and Nationality Alan Riach and Alexander Moffat (Friday 18 March 2016) [Boxed off:] While Scottish poets and writers gathered in Montrose in the 1920s, then in St Andrews and Shetland in the 1930s, an artist of an older generation, born in Leith in 1874, was to travel alongside and sometimes intersect with their work. He was one of the group known familiarly as the Scottish Colourists but his vision and purpose is seen not only in his style and subjects but also, emphatically, in his book, Modern Scottish Painting. This was and remains a manifesto for the distinctiveness of Scottish art, and of Scotland, internationally and independently. He is one of the major artists of the twentieth century, fully in touch with international Modernism in Paris before the First World War, and committed to cultural and political regeneration in Scotland after the Second World War. His name was John Duncan Fergusson. [Article begins:] J.D. Fergusson’s book, Modern Scottish Painting appeared in 1943, the same year as Hugh MacDiarmid’s autobiography Lucky Poet: A Self-Study in Literature and Political Ideas and the major breakthrough volume of modern Gaelic poetry, Sorley Maclean’s Dàin do Eimhir.

This catalogue includes a wide range of British and European drawings, watercolours and oil sketches, placed more or less in chronological order, ranging in date from the 16th century to the first half of the 20th century. Although the areas of Old Master drawings, early British watercolours, 19th Century drawings and Modern drawings have long been regarded as disparate fields, each with their own enthusiasts, part of the purpose of this annual catalogue is to blur the distinction between these collecting areas.

  • Scotland Trip May 14 to June 5, 2001
    SCOTLAND TRIP MAY 14 TO JUNE 5, 2001 The author of this travelogue wishes to acknowledge the following people without whose assistance our trip to Scotland would not have been so successful. Deepest appreciation is paid to Dr. Prof. Mrs. Linda J. (call me "Lee") Magid whose numerous university- and research-sponsored plane trips under the worst circumstances (packed like a sardine in the steerage cabin with the scum of the earth as her fellow passengers) allowed her to accumulate enough frequent-flier miles to get us free Business Elite tickets on Delta Airlines. Thanks are also due to the Directors of Delta Airlines whose miserly policies (setting aside but a tiny number of these "free" seats per flight) forced us to: (a) travel earlier in the summer than we had wanted, (b) spend three days more than we had planned, and (c) fly to and from destinations that are near, but not in, Scotland. Special tribute is also paid to good friend Prof. Dr. Dr. Maitland "Mad-Dog" Jones whose ire at our having traveled Business Elite last summer makes having done so, this summer, all the more enjoyable. EAT YOUR HEART OUT, JONESIE! Prof. Jones is also thanked for the confusing, misleading, and just plain wrong information that he provided, based upon his own travels in Scotland while in an alcoholic haze. And who could forget (although we’d like to) good friend Prof. Kelsey Cook who had visited the Scottish Highlands last summer and who provided maps, tour books, sage advice, and an interminably long slide show of his adventures; Prof.

As Samuel Peploe's grandson, Guy Peploe has access to all the major public and private collections. Born in Edinburgh, he was drawn to France and returned to paint there frequently, moving in to Paris, where he moved in artistic avant-garde circles. His painting style gave way to a more contemporary and expressive approach, and he used rich colours applied with more structured brushstrokes. In Peploe returned to Edinburgh and slowly began to build a successful career as an exhibiting artist. From around until his death, he sought to paint the perfect still life. A modest selection of props, including roses or tulips, fans, books, fruits and Chinese vases, were carefully placed in infinite varieties on patterned drapery. In he explained: 'There is so much in mere objects, flowers, leaves, jugs, what not - colours, forms, relation - I can never see mystery coming to an end'.

In the past year we have been relieved to discover that, despite global financial difficulties, there is still a strong market for original drawings and watercolours of high quality. Traditionally the fields of British Watercolours on the one hand, and Old Master, 19th century and modern drawings on the other, have each had their own collectors, auctions and exhibitions. The aim of this catalogue, and indeed the aim of our shared gallery as a whole, is to blur the distinction between these collecting areas, and hopefully show that a good drawing is always a good drawing, whoever the artist and whatever the date. The present catalogue includes a wide range of British and European drawings and watercolours, placed more or less in chronological order, ranging in date from the 16th century until the present day. As a glance at the enclosed price list will show, the prices of the drawings and watercolours are equally broad in scope - from under £1,000 to around £10,000 – with a large number of interesting works at the lower end of this range.
