Footnotes:
The 1920's was a period of significant development and exploration for Gillies. In 1923, a travelling grant took him to Paris and the studio of André Lhorte. Gillies experienced Cubism and the freedoms Modernism could offer him. The present work demonstrates how he started to assimilate the Modernist concepts and apply them to his local landscape in his own visual language.
