* MARGARET MORRIS (BRITISH 1891 - 1980), STILL LIFE - FRUIT BOWL charcoal on paper, titled label versomounted, framed and under glass image size 12cm x 16cm, overall size 36cm x 38cm Exhibition label verso: Margaret Morris Centenary Exhibition 1991 (1891-1890), Cyril Gerber Fine Art, GlasgowNote: Dancer, choreographer, artist and writer, daughter of the artist William Bright Morris and wife of the artist J D Fergusson. She was a child stage prodigy who did ballet training at Theatre Royal in London, later studying with Raymond Duncan, the dancer Isadora’s brother. Keen to extend the expressive power of dance, she invented her own technique which she began teaching prior to World War I in her own Margaret Morris Movement school, staging her own shows. In 1913 during a Paris tour she met Fergusson and they formed a creative partnership. Between the wars more Margaret Morris Movement schools opened in France and Britain and the Morris-Fergusson artistic circle widened enormously. After returning to Glasgow on the outbreak of World War II the pair played a big role in forming the New Art Club and New Scottish Group of painters, and Morris founded the Celtic Ballet which in 1960 developed into the Scottish National Ballet. Fergusson encouraged his wife’s artistic talents and she emerged as a clever, decorative painter and draughtsman, adept at catching a likeness in movement. Among her books was The Art of J D Fergusson, 1974. The first comprehensive show of her work occurred at Cyril Gerber Fine Art, Glasgow, 1984, which held a centenary show in 1991. After Morris’ death her dance work continued through the International Association of Margaret Morris Movements in many countries.
* JOHN WATLING (BRITISH b. 1943) THE STORR FROM THE QUIRRAING, SKYE watercolour on paper, signed, titled versomounted, framed and under glass image size 31cm x 41cm, overall size 49cm x 58cm Label verso: Hanover Fine Arts, EdinburghNote: John Watling was born in Manchester, England in 1943. He is a graduate of Leeds College of Art. In 1965 John was founder member of Leeds 'Sweet Street Group' - bringing art into industry. He exhibited in the Leeds City Art Gallery (one man show) and The Austin Hayes Gallery in York in 1967 and 1968. After teaching art for two years he left Leeds and moved to Newcastle upon Tyne where he became a freelance illustrator for the Sunday Sun Newspaper. From 1971 he found himself involved with the Entertainment Industry on the management side. This carried him over to Australia where he also exhibited paintings in Sydney between 1972 and 1974. He returned to England and Newcastle upon Tyne where he worked in promoting and organising Arts Festivals and exhibiting locally. In 1984 he returned to teaching art. In 1989 he went on holiday to the West coast of Scotland and the Republic of Ireland. This began a love affair resulting with a period of painting which still continues to this day. He exhibits frequently in Edinburgh and since 2000 in London's West End. John Watling's paintings are landscapes of the West of Scotland and Ireland. The Scottish paintings are mainly of the island of Iona where he finds inspiration for the almost Celtic strata of the rocks against the white sands and the oddly shaped islands off the coast. The paintings have a surreal look about them, which he says reflects his feelings about the island. His paintings of the West Coast of Ireland are mostly of the Aran Islands off the coast of Galway which to him have a timeless feel about them. His main interest is in the dry stonewalls which cover the islands like an enormous maze. His paintings are in oil and watercolour. He paints mainly in his studio from sketches and photographs rather than in 'situ'. This is because of the frequent light changes which can alter by the minute in the areas where he draws inspiration from. He is a prolific painter and has a large number of admirers and investors throughout the British Isles. He has paintings which are in collections in Britain, Ireland, USA, Europe, Australia and Canada.
