Description
J.D. Fergusson was a key figure in British modernism, and this book reasserts his place at the forefront of the movement. Born in Leith in 1874, Fergusson developed his artistic skills through self-study before being drawn into the avant-garde scene in Paris in 1907. He became closely associated with French painting and its latest developments, a connection that set him apart from his Scottish contemporaries. Fergusson's artistic career was marked by his involvement with influential figures such as Margaret Morris, who inspired many of his works. This book provides a fresh perspective on Fergusson's life and art, shedding new light on his role in shaping British modernism.
