Fergusson Exhibition / December 1961 / at Established 1842 / Aitken Dott & Son / (The Scottish Gallery) / 26 Castle Street / Edinburgh CRE FERGUSSON, John Duncan; (Scottish; 1874-1961) Label: "In 1913, Fergusson settled near Antibes, where his studio looked out to the Alpes Maritimes. The light and landscape of this new area prompted him to return to his earlier techniques of thick impasto and creamy textured paint. In its emotive vocabulary and use of darker colours, Alpes Maritime recalls some of Hunter?s still-lifes and landscapes of the early 1920s. It is also strangely reminiscent of Les Eus. It is intriguing to wonder what direction Fergusson?s art might have taken, if the First World War had not forced him to leave France for more than six years?" | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | SCOTTISH COLOURIST : COLOUR : MOUNTAIN : FRANCE : LANDSCAPE : ALPES MARITIMES : GEORGE SMITH GIFT/BEQUEST : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
