John Duncan Fergusson (1874 – 1961)
View all Artists- Biography: John Duncan Fergusson was a principal artist in the group now known as the Scottish Colourists, which combined French Impressionist techniques with Scottish themes to produce outstanding works in the early 20th Century. Fergusson, living in Paris in the early1900s, embraced the ideas of the new era, absorbing and adapting new influences and constantly evolving in a re-expression of the modern. He was also, throughout his life, a great proponent of art for all. The J D Fergusson Memorial Collection was presented to the University by Margaret Morris, the artist’s lifelong partner, and the J D Fergusson Art Foundation in1968. The collection of fourteen of Fergusson’s paintings was chosen to represent all periods of his life from his very early Bazaar in Tangiers (c. 1897) to A Bridge on the Kelvin (1942). It contains some of his finest work and includes the seminal painting Rhythm (1911).
