Description: SELLING HERE A MAGNIFICENT MOUNTED PRINT FROM THE ARCHIVES. BRITISH ART HISTORY GRACE McCOLL 1930BY JOHN DUNVAN FERGUSSON 1874-1961 ABOUT THE ARTIST AND THIS PICTUREBorn just outside Edinburgh in 1874, Fergusson only spent a short spell at the city's Trustees Academy before joining the artistic ferment in Paris at the turn of the twentieth century. This had a dramatic impact on him and he continued to return to France nearly every summer before settling there in 1907. He quickly became part of an Anglo-American group, and by 1909 had been elected Societaire of the Salon d'Automne. It was during this early period in Paris that he found friendship with the Scottish businessman Harry McColl, and his brother Bill. They became lifelong friends and Fergusson painted this portrait of Harry's wife, Grace, in 1930.Grace McColl showcases Fergusson's love of painting beautiful women. With the exception of his self-portraits, he focused almost exclusively on female sitters from 1907 onwards, the majority of whom were amongst his wide circle of friends. From circa 1915, his portraits display a purity of form, rhythmic line and a fascination with the shapes of objects. This work is a wonderful example of how he used colour, pattern and costume to suggest the personality of the sitter. Grace McColl was evidently a very sophisticated, fashionable woman.SIZE: 8" x 6.5"CONDITION: PERFECTAUTHENTICITY: We have a paper-trail and history for all our prints to ensue contents and dates are correct.
