The Scottish Contemporary Art Auction Lot 515A

The Scottish Contemporary Art Auction Sun, 20th Jun 2021 Viewing: Thursday 17th - 9am-5pm Friday 18th - 9am-5pm Saturday 19th - 9.30am-12pm Sunday 20th - 11.30am-1pm Lot 515A Estimate: £3000 - £5000 + Fees TOLEDO LANDSCAPE, AN OIL BY ALEXANDER GOUDIE * ALEXANDER GOUDIE RP RGI (SCOTTISH 1933 - 2004), TOLEDO LANDSCAPE oil on canvas, signed, titled label verso image size 51cm x 61cm, overall size 63cm x 73cm Framed. Note: Alexander Goudie was born in 1933 at Paisley and, as a child, showed a prodigious talent for drawing. He studied at Glasgow School of Art when William Armour was head of drawing and painting and David Donaldson was the ubiquitous influence. Goudie, as a student at Glasgow, demonstrated his extraordinary ability. He received the Somerville Shanks Prize for Composition and, later, his draughtsmanship and sense of colour was recognized with the award of the Newbery Medal. As a young artist he grew up admiring three great masters, Sir John Lavery, George Henry and James Guthrie; all artists who had bridged the gap between Glasgow and Paris. It was these artists’ glorious virtuoso control of oil paint that appealed to Goudie, as well as their genre and realist subject-matter. Alexander Goudie was elected a member of the Glasgow Art Club in 1956 and a member of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters in 1970. He painted a portrait of the Queen for the Caledonian Club, London (1992/93), and exhibited widely, showing at Harari and Johns, in London, the Fine Art Society, Glasgow, and the Musee de la Faience, in Quimper. Sir Timothy Clifford, former Director of the National Galleries of Scotland, said: ''At his best, Goudie could draw better than any of his rivals in Scotland. There was magic and vision in his art and, I expect, history will be kind to him.'' Collections: 79 of Goudie's paintings are held in UK public collections..

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.

He has a strong interest in the architecture of the East Coast Scottish towns and fishing villages, and these feature in many of his paintings. The immaculately designed forms are crisp and clean-cut and cohere beautifully in blocks of saturated colour. “I am inspired by the East Coast of Scotland, its architecture and evidence of the hand of man on the landscape.

Marking Time in the Gallery
news from 185 bath street Summer 2014 No 40 THE GLASGOW ART CLUB NEWSLETTER President’s Column Marking time Gallery Matters wenty one years ago, in 1993, our Gallery was one hundred years old. To in the Gallery Tmark the occasion the Club organised a wonderful art exhibition that spanned those one hundred years. I attended the black tie dinner on the opening night and I still have the limited edition catalogue, signed by the other diners at my table. As an exhibition it was a cracker. Covering the years 1893 to 1993 it included paintings by Sir James Guthrie, George Henry, Leslie Hunter, William Crosbie, and Hugh Adam Crawford as well as contemporary artist members of that time like David Donaldson, John Cunningham and Alexander Goudie. For the sake of brevity my list omits many other wonderful artists. Now twenty one years later we are looking forward to the opening of our newly refurbished gallery. The opening exhibition in November will again feature works by members past and present. To ensure a fabulous exhibition a call has gone out for members to contribute a work from their own collection to this inaugural show. Once again let us enjoy the works of Donaldson, Goudie, Robertson and Hood to name but a few who are no longer with us. Before I close I would like to quote from the catalogue of the 1993 exhibition. In an interview with Roger Billcliffe, past President and celebrated Scottish artist John Cunningham reminisces about the club he loves. embers had a chance to review hanging area.

RBWF Newsletter March 2013
The Robert Burns World Federation Newsletter Issue 2 March 2013 Message from the Editor, Mike Duguid I’m delighted to report that the first bi-monthly newsletter proved to be very popular and has been welcomed by clubs and individuals alike. Encouragingly the newsletter is being relayed onwards to non- Federation members so a much larger audience can read about the sterling work being done by the Federation in promoting the life and works of our national Poet. Such has been the response that a bumper second newsletter has been necessary to reflect the worldwide activity associated with the ‘Burns Supper’ season. I am very grateful to all those who have sent in reports and articles. Of necessity in a newsletter format, much of the material has to be edited in an effort to include as many articles as possible so I apologise in advance if some feel short-changed by this process having spent time and effort writing longer pieces. In this Issue: A Song for Spring Page The smiling Spring comes in rejoicing, - School Activities 1 - Burns Suppers 2-6 And surly Winter grimly flies. Now crystal clear are the falling waters, - Toronto Statue 6 And bonie blue are the sunny skies. - Mauchline Holy Fair 6 Fresh o’er the mountains breaks forth the morning, - Guild of Speakers 7 The ev’ning gilds the ocean’s swell: All creatures joy in the sun’s returning, - Yorkshire Tartan Ball 7 - RBBM Exhibition and Talks 7 And I rejoice in my bonie Bell. - Supporting the Federation 8 - Keep in Touch 8 Bonie Bell by Robert Burns - Tam O’Shanter in Kirkcudbright 8 Tune: Bonie Bell - G Ross Roy Obituary 8 Schools Activities The Bridgeton Burns Club Annual Schools Competition takes place in St Mungo's Academy in Glasgow on the first Friday in December.

Three-Step Approach Our suggestions for learning experiences have been organised into three steps: 1 Explore – Close reading and discussion 2 Discover – Find out more (go into greater depth) 3 Create – Make something new Each activity can be done on its own but the learning journey is more rewarding when it involves all three steps.
