Description: | 46.6 x 56.7 s. t. l. in pale violet "MACDONALD" CRE MACDONALD, Tom; (Scottish; 1914-1985) E. Morgan was invited in 1976 to write the introduction to a catalogue of T. Macdonald's work at the Third Eye Centre in Glasgow (where he bought glaha 51787). In this catalogue, Morgan notes that "his pictures of the 1940s ... [were] influenced by Josef Herman and [he] painted tenements and tramcars, football crowds and railway yards". Morgan also notes Macdonald's background, who was trained as a marine engineer on the Clyde. By the 1940s, he belonged to the group of Glasgow based artists, writers, playwriters, and poets, including J. Adler and J.D. Fergusson, all working in wartime Glasgow, and promoting a healthy interaction of the arts. Morgan later contributed to a monography published in 1986 to celebrate the life of T. Macdonald, who had died the previous year aged 71. | 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: | GLASGOW : SAWMILL : CANAL : LANDSCAPE : SCOTLAND : SOCIAL REALISM : | 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 |
