  • Scottish Paintings & Sculpture (466) Lot 35
    Scottish Paintings & Sculpture (466) Thu, 9th Jun 2016, Edinburgh Lot 35 Estimate: £1500 - £2000 + Fees § SIR WILLIAM GEORGE GILLIES C.B.E., L.L.D., R.S.A., P.R.S.W., R.A. (SCOTTISH 1898-1973) PIGEONS ON A DOO COT Signed, gouache 26cm x 38cm (10.25in x 15in) Provenance: The Robertson Collection Note: Gillies was born at Haddington in East Lothian in 1898, the son of a tailor and tobacconist. Largely self-taught in his youth, he gained a place at Edinburgh College of Art in 1916. No sooner had he joined, however than his education was interrupted by military service in WWI. Gillies joined the Scottish Rifles (Cameronians) and served for two years on the Western Front, being both gassed and wounded. With the end of hostilities, Gillies resumed his studies at Edinburgh and along with some of his fellow students embraced the brave new world of Modernism, looking across the channel to the Post-Impressionism of Van Gogh, the 'wild beasts' Matisse and Derain and the radicalism of Picasso and Braque. His contemporaries at Edinburgh included Sir William MacTaggart and William Crozier and in 1922 with them and six other graduates of the ECA he founded the 1922 group. The following year he travelled on a scholarship to France with another fellow student, William Geissler and studied in Paris under the minor Cubist painter Andre Lhote. Although Gillies later denied Lhote's influence, his early work evinces the effect of the French modernists, in particular of Cezanne and Gris, albeit in a less radical style of the genre.
