They encouraged him to further his studies in Paris, where he enrolled in the studio of Aimé Morot (1850-1913) in 1882. Regrettably no securely documented works can be dated from his two-month Parisian stay. As the traditional teaching methods of Morot were at odds with his own beliefs, Crawhall spent most of his time studying outside, sketching in the streets, parks and surrounding countryside. Rue St Denis, a rapidly executed pastel inspired by everyday life on a Parisian street, illustrates his ability to capture the essence of his subject-matter. | 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: | LANDSCAPE : URBAN : FIGURE : STREET : PARIS : TOWNSCAPE : COACH : LADY : GLASGOW BOY : ASPECTS OF SCOTTISH ART : | 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 |
