David W Gunn (1865-1935). As a contemporary of the Scottish Colourists, Gunn shared similar values in their love of light and strong colour, but is in many ways more bold for his work is less constrained by mainstream conventions and the influence of patrons. His choice of subject reflects the direct influence of post-impressionism in its use of pure colour applied directly to the surface without preparatory line. Born near Thurso in Caithness, he was commissioned into the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders along with fellow artist, David MacBeth Sutherland. We know surprisingly little of his life, but following his return from wartime France, he appears to have settled in Dunfermline where he continued to work. Gunn was a founder member of the 1922 Group that consisted of a group of artists associated with the Edinburgh College of Art including William Crozier, John Maxwell and William Gillies. Exhibitions of the 1922 group were held at the New Gallery in Shandwick Place from 1923 until 1928. He exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy and a number of his paintings are included in the permanent collection of Pittencreiff House Museum, Dunfermline including a wonderful work titled 'The last Mooring of the Ajax'.

- The Young Art Critics - Scottish Edwardian art portrait landscape oil paintingLocated in London, GBThis lovely Edwardian exhibited portrait landscape oil painting is by noted Scottish artist James Riddel. It was exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy in 1909 and again in Glasgow Institute in 1913, entitled The Critics. Painted circa 1909, the painting has the muted tones but varied palette of the Scottish School. The focus of the composition is a young boy and girl stood in the foreground, outdoors, examining a painting in progress on an easel. They look as if they are giving it very careful consideration. The artist's bag, brushes and tubes of paint lie on the grass beneath the easel but he is not in view. The painting is of the countryside and path leading to a collection of dwellings beyond, all bathed in sunshine. The earnestness of the young art critics can be seen in their body language and is very sweet. A really lovely exhibited Scottish Impressionist Edwardian oil painting and an excellent example of Riddel's work. Signed lower right. Provenance. Exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy 1909 no. 294, entitled The Critics. Exhibited at the Royal Glasgow Institute of Fine Arts 1913 no. 420 entitled The Critics.
