Still Life, half-peeled leom. Artist HUNTER. Owner ..."; colourman's stamp on back of canvas "Robert Miller / Artists' Colourman / ... Glasgow" CRE HUNTER, George Leslie; (Scottish; 1879-1931) Label: "After the War, Hunter took a studio in Glasgow. His pre-1920 still lifes are generally characterised by a dark background such as this, and a brighter palette than he favoured during the War. Working quickly, Hunter at times accidentally dropped paint onto his canvas, as in the lower left corner, where a dab of orange from the lemon peel has fallen onto the table cloth. The Half Peeled Lemon recalls Dutch still lives Hunter had seen in Glasgow?s Kelvingrove, and the McManus Art Gallery, Dundee." | 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: | STILL LIFE : FRUIT : TABLE : SCOTTISH COLOURIST : LEMON : WILLIAM KALF : JUG : | 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 |
