Description
§ SIR WILLIAM GEORGE GILLIES C.B.E., L.L.D., R.S.A., P.R.S.W., R.A. (SCOTTISH 1898-1973) Signed, pen and ink and watercolour
(25.5cm x 35.5cm (10in x 14in))
Having enjoyed working en plein air in Gardenstown on the Aberdeenshire coast several times between the wars, Gillies returned there in 1950 and 1951. This work can be seen to illustrate Joanna Soden and Victoria Keller's description of the village 'where the houses rise in step fashion up the sides of the cliffs to the high, open grassland above. At one end, above the roof-lines, the buttressed four-square kirk of the Church of Scotland makes a striking landmark.' (Joanna Soden and Victoria Keller, William Gillies, Canongate, Edinburgh, 1998, p. 108).
