Description: | 99.7 x 113.0 s.b.r. "Stanley Cursiter 1921" CRE CURSITER, Stanley, Sir; (Scottish; 1887-1976) NFA assisted purchase. Label: "Like the Scottish Colourists, Cursiter was influential in introducing modern
art to Scotland. The artist is best known for a series of highly inventive Futurist compositions dated 1913; watercolour landscapes painted in the South of France
in 1920; and his 1920s studies of girls in interiors, of which Girl with a Jug is a fine example. Its still life of vases, pots and jugs echoes the work of his friends, Peploe and Fergusson. The sitter is Poppy Lowe, one
of Cursiter?s favourite models. She is placed against a very dark background drawing attention to the studio lights playing across her face." | 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: | MODEL : STILL LIFE : PORTRAIT : JUG : MODERN SCOTS : | 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 |
