CRE CHRISTIE, James Elder; (Scottish; 1847-1914) NFA assisted purchase. A native of Paisley, Christie attended life classes in Chelsea alongside Whistler who was his neighbour. He also lived in Paris between 1882 and 1885, and upon his return became a founding member of the New English Art Club. His involvement with the Club led to a temporary association with the Glasgow Boys in the late 1880s and early 90s when many of them joined. A Fairground at Night reflects Christie's familiarity with Whistler's Nocturnes of Cremorne Gardens. It also makes an interesting comparison with his Glasgow colleague, James Guthrie, who worked in pastel c.1890-1892. | 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: | NIGHT : FAIR : LIGHT : WINDMILL : CROWD : GLASGOW BOY : NOCTURNE : MG4N : 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 |
