JAMES (1859– ) , Scottish painter, and one of the leaders of the so-called See also:Glasgow school of painters, was See also:born at See also:Greenock. Though in his youth he was influenced by See also:John See also:Pettie in See also:London, and subsequently studied in See also:Paris, his See also:style, which is remarkable for grasp of See also:character, breadth and spontaneity, is due to the lessons taught him by observation of nature, and to the example of Crawhall, by which he benefited in See also:Lincolnshire in the See also:early 'eighties of the last See also:century. In his early See also:works, such as " The Gipsy Fires are Burning, for Daylight is Past and Gone " (1882), and the " Funeral Service in the See also:Highlands," he favoured a thick impasto, but with growing experience he used his See also:colour with greater See also:economy and reticence. Subsequently he devoted himself almost exclusively to See also:portraiture. Sir James Guthrie, like so many of the Glasgow artists, achieved his first successes on the See also:Continent, but soon found recognition in his native See also:country. He was elected See also:associate of the Royal Scottish See also:Academy in 1888, and full member in 1892, succeeded Sir See also:George See also:Reid as See also:president of the Royal Scottish Academy in 1902, and was knighted in 1903. His See also:painting " Schoolmates " is at the See also:Ghent See also:Gallery. Among his most successful portraits are those of his See also:mother, Mr R. Garroway, See also:Major Hotchkiss, Mrs Fergus, See also:Professor See also:Jack, and Mrs See also:Watson.
