Description: | RH CRE COWIE, James; (Scottish; 1886-1956) Label: "In 1920, Cowie was appointed art master at Bellshill, Midlothian. There, he used the artroom as though it were his own studio, drawing children, details of their physiognomy, clothes and attitudes, as they themselves worked. The resulting drawings were then developed at home in his studio, and provided the material for his major schoolroom compositions of the 1920s and 1930s. This carefully painted study is typical of Cowie?s working method. Contrary to orthodox art school practice, he would emphasise the tiniest details, such as the shape of the girl?s jumper, before working outwards to describe the general form." | 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: | CHILD : FIGURE : INTERIOR : MODERN SCOTS : SKETCH : SCHOOL ROOM : PUPIL : STUDYING : | 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 |
