ANCELL STRONACH (1901-1981) PORTRAIT OF PETER WYLIE DAVIDSON oil on canvas, signed and dated 1934 90cm x 79cm Provenance: Peter Wylie Davidson and by descent Note: This portrait was presented to Peter Wylie Davidson by Glasgow School of Art on his retiral in 1935. The painter, Ancell Stronach, was an RSA and Professor of Mural Painting at the Glasgow School of Art until 1939. Peter Wylie Davidson (1870-1963) was an extremely influential and talented artist craftsman working in Glasgow during that turn of the century period when the `Glasgow Style` was receiving international acclaim. Aside from his own work, he both taught and collaborated with many of the other well known exponents of the style during his time as metalwork instructor at Glasgow School of Art, from the late 1890s until he retired in 1935. Born in Bridge of Allan, Davidson began a seven year apprenticeship with silversmiths James Reid & Company in Glasgow at the age of eleven. In 1884, he was enrolled for evening classes at Glasgow School of Art, alongside a sixteen year old Charles Rennie Mackintosh, with whom he would later collaborate. In the 1890s, Davidson set up a studio workshop with his younger brother, William, at 93 Hope Street, where he felt he was "discarding the apron of the workshop and donning the artist`s smock". The brothers began to produce applied art wares, from jewellery to tea sets and mirrors. An exhibition held within their first year was a great success. In 1892 the technical studios were opened at Glasgow School of Art and Fra Newbery, the director at the school from1885 to1918 persuaded Davidson to become an assistant instructor in the metalwork classes, initially for only one day a week. By 1899, however, he had become the full time metalwork craft instructor. Davidson`s work won silver medal at the Aberdeen Exhibition of Industry and Art in 1899. As a member of the Scottish Guild of Handicraft, he had pieces in their first show in 1902. In that year he also exhibited at the Turin and Cork International Exhibitions. By now, Davidson was also executing various pieces to the designs of his compatriots, notably Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Jessie Marion King and the Newberys. For Mackintosh, he created the candlesticks for Miss Cranton`s home Hous`hill and with his brother, The Fleming Casket (now in the V&A), both circa 1909. He wrote three books, the first of which, Educational Metalcraft (1913), became the standard text for the metalwork, jewellery and enamelling course at Glasgow School of Art and remained so even after he retired in 1935. After leaving the art school, he continued to make objects in various crafts, becoming more interested in wood carving in particular as he got older and he continued to exhibit right up until his last years. The following collection of items is being offered by the Davidson family.

JOHN QUINTON PRINGLE (1864-1925) `ELSIE`, CIRCA 1897 three quarter length watercolour portrait miniature on ivory 9cm x 7cm Exhibited: Scottish Arts Council Exhibition `John Quinton Pringle`, 1981, Case II, c) Note: This miniature depicts Elsie Newbery, daughter of Fra Newbery, the director of Glasgow School of Art from 1885 - 1918, and appears to be an early commission for Pringle. Newbery commissioned Pringle to paint both his daughters, Elsie and Mary (Newbery Sturrrock), in miniature and such was his admiration of Pringle`s work he is noted to have written; "...I have always regarded Pringle with a peculiar and sustained pleasure, and have treasured to myself my thoughts about his work and its accomplishments...My wife and I with Pringle`s fellow students, Mr and Mrs Charles Rennie Mackintosh, early realised that somewhat of a genius was among us...My wife and I gave him his first commission and the results achieved by work with our smallest youngsters on many a Sunday morning, are among our most valued modern possessions..." His connection to Charles Rennie Mackintosh and his circle was lasting, and both Newbery and Mackintosh helped him to have his work shown at the Vienna Secessionist Exhibition of 1902 and the Whitechapel Art Gallery in London in 1914.
