Her priority was capturing the authenticity of her own visual and emotional experiences. The artist first discovered Catterline, a small fishing village near Stonehaven in the north-east of Scotland in 1950 and later bought a cottage there. To capture the full drama of Catterline's tempestuous weather Eardley would set her easel up outdoors in the midst of a storm. | 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 : SCOTLAND : FEMALE ARTIST : CAMPUS : ABSTRACT : SEASCAPE : STORM : WAVE : PRINCIPAL LODGING : | 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 |
