    WILLIAM CROSBIE Centenary Exhibition WILLIAM CROSBIE (1915-1999) Centenary Exhibition 7 - 31 JANUARY 2015 16 Dundas Street, Edinburgh EH3 6HZ TEL 0131 558 1200 EMAIL [email protected] www.scottish-gallery.co.uk Front cover: Music of Living - Monkey and Nude, 1988, oil on board, 71 x 91.4 cms, cat. 33 Left: Self Portrait, 1956, oil on board, 60.3 x 43.1 cms, cat. 11 2 INTRODUCTION There are many Scottish painters who have made a mark on our culture and consciousness in the last century and it is tempting to try to attach each to a school or movement. The artist has a habit of resisting any attempt at taxonomy however, wriggling free from the entomologist’s chloroform bottle and display pin, to be unruly, unpredictable and provide no favours for the art historian. Yes, we had The Glasgow Boys, a coherent group of realist painters before the beginning of the 20th Century. And then came The Scottish Colourists, our first modernists, who certainly exhibited as a group and can be understood as British post-impressionists. In the post-War years the choice seemed to be to stay in Scotland under the wing of your Art College or move to the South, like Colquhoun and MacBryde, Alan Davie, William Gear and W. Barns-Graham. Of course the complex reality denies a simple telling; for every adherent there is an opponent and many of the most powerful and individual painters of the period like James Cowie or Joan Eardley neither left nor taught in Glasgow or Edinburgh.

  • 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.

They often used bright colours and pronounced brushwork in their paintings and are recognised as being amongst the most important modern Scottish artists. Cadell is perhaps the most elegant of the Colourists. He painted stylish Edinburgh New Town interiors, sophisticated members of society, vibrantly coloured and daringly simplified still lifes and figure studies, as well as evocative depictions of his beloved island of Iona. He was born in Edinburgh in 1883 and studied in Paris and Munich. Cadell was the youngest of the Scottish Colourists and was the only one to fight in World War One. After the war, he moved to Ainslie Place in Edinburgh’s fashionable New Town, where he lived until 1931. Cadell first visited the island of Iona in the Scottish Hebrides in 1912. He returned to paint there, often accompanied by Peploe, virtually every year until his death.

    For Immediate Release 22 January 2007 Contact: Matthew Paton 020 7389 2965 [email protected] CHRISTIE’S TO OFFER FINEST PRIVATE COLLECTION OF SCOTTISH COLOURISTS SEEN ON THE MARKET SINCE 1979 Scottish Art including the Hunter Blair Colourist Collection Friday 25 May 2007, King Street London - Christie’s will offer the finest private collection of Scottish colourists to come to the market in over twenty five years at a sale of Scottish Art on 25 May 2007 in London. This will be the first ever auction dedicated to Scottish Art to be held in London and builds on the success of The Scottish Sale held in Edinburgh in October 2006 which realised £3.7 million, the highest ever total for the category at Christie’s, and whose Colourist section realised £1.9 million, the highest total for a group of colourists anywhere since Christie’s Scottish sale in 1989. The annual sale of The Scottish Sale at the Assembly Rooms, Edinburgh will take place on 25 October 2007. The Colourists were a group of four Scottish artists who traveled frequently to France during the early years of the 20th century where they were heavily influenced by French Post-Impressionist movements. Samuel John Peploe, R.S.A. (1871-1935), Francis Campbell Boileau Cadell (1883–1937), George Leslie Hunter (1879- 1931) and John Duncan Fergusson (1874-1961) are recognized as having introduced ‘modern’ painting to Scotland, and played a substantial role in the development of the British art scene in the first half of the 20th century.

The aim is to obtain clearer knowledge of the group’s working practices, artistic techniques and materials. The starting point of this project was to establish which art galleries hold Scottish Colourists’ works, specifically oil paintings. They are known for their use of vibrant colours. All four artists visited Paris early in their careers from which they derived artistic inspiration. Although the artists knew each other they didn’t often exhibit collectively, in fact their works were only shown together three times during their lives. It wasn’t until late 1940s that the four artists became known as the Scottish Colourists. • Aberdeen Art Gallery, Aberdeen Glasgow Museum Resource Centre,Glasgow Tate Galleries, London Ferens Art Gallery, Hull Gracefield Gallery, Dumfries Manchester Art Gallery, Manchester Pathfoot Gallery, Stirling The Fergusson Gallery, Perth McManus Galleries, Dundee The Hunterian, Glasgow Southampton City Art Gallery, Southampton Potteries Museum Stroke-on-Trent Kirkcaldy Art Gallery, Fife City Art Centre, National Galleries of Scotland, Edn.
