12 Lot 299 299 David Gauld RSA (Scottish 1867-1936) Oil on canvas signed lower left (Ian McNicol, Glasgow, label) Calves by the Solway 50cm x 754cm Gauld was an apprentice Lithographer with Gilmour and Deen from 1882 at the Glasgow School of Art and Haldane Academy. He attended classes until 1885. In 1887 he joined the staff of the Glasgow Weekly Citizen as an illustrator. The influence of the Japanese print is obvious in his early works. Although this phase of his work was short lived, the influence carried through to this stained glass designs, in association with the firm Guthrie and Wells. His most important stained glass commission was for St. Andrew s Scottish Church in Buenos Aires and took him ten years to complete. The result of the combination of painting and his stained glass designs produced a rich flat painted surface combined with sharp, angular, delineation of shapes. The above work can be dated to post 1900, when Gauld returned to oil painting after the completion of the Buenos Aires Project, it was his popular cattle and calves studies for which he is renowned.
