WILLIAM STEWART MACGEORGE RSA (SCOTTISH 1861-1934), GIRLS GATHERING FLOWERS BY A STREAM oil on canvas, signed 41cm x 51cm (approximately 16 x 20 inches) Framed and under glass. Note: William Stewart MacGeorge was born in King Street, Castle Douglas on 1 April 1861. Like his friend E A Hornel, he was the son of a shoe-maker. His father was David MacGeorge who, according to the 1861 census, was the employer of three men and a boy. He attended the Free Church School in Castle Douglas, where a fellow pupil was S R Crockett. Crockett included his childhood friends as characters in his 1894 novel "The Raiders", and captures MacGeorge’s happy disposition in the character Jerry McWhirter, “a roguish fellow that came to me to help with my land surveying, but was keener to draw with colours on paper, the hues of the landscape and the sea. But he was dearest to us because of his continual merry heart, which did us good like a medicine.” MacGeorge entered the Trustees Academy in Edinburgh in 1880 along with fellow Galloway boys E A Hornel and Thomas Bromley Blacklock. In 1881 MacGeorge and Crockett were lodging together at 50 St Leonard Street (Edinburgh). MacGeorge was a successful student being a prize-winner in his second and third years at art school, and had a work shown in the Royal Scottish Academy in 1881. In 1883 MacGeorge and Hornel enrolled in Antwerp’s Academie Royale des Beaux Arts, where MacGeorge again excelled under the rigorous discipline of Charles Verlat. On his return to Scotland he enrolled in the RSA Life Schools in Edinburgh, where he continued his studies and embarked on his professional career. Thereafter, MacGeorge divided his life largely between Edinburgh and Galloway. He lived at 11 Melville Place, Edinburgh during the winter and had a studio in Kirkcudbright in the summer. Works such as "A Galloway Peat Moss", displayed in the National Gallery of Scotland, is a fine example of a plein air realist work showing the influence of Jules Bastien – Lepage on Scottish artists while his "Halloween", shown at the RSA in 1893, and to which he returned in his diploma work of 1911, is an example of his interest in childhood rituals. The painting was well received when shown later that year at the Paris Salon. W S MacGeorge was the most naturalistic of the Galloway artists. Informal scenes of children at play are typical of his work. A favourite subject was the salmon fishers and their nets on the Dee at Kirkcudbright. Commenting on the RSA exhibition of 1910 "The Studio" observed, “One of the outstanding landscapes is Mr W S MacGeorge’s view of salmon fishers at dusk drawing their nets in the estuary of the Kirkcudbright Dee”. Relatively late in his life, MacGeorge married Mabel Victoria Elliot, a watercolour painter and widow of the artist Hugh Munro and settled at Gifford near Haddington. Ninety-nine of William Stewart MacGeorge's paintings are held in UK Public Collections. In The British & International Pictures Auction on 18th November 2020 lot 101, "The Hedgehog" by W. S. MacGeorge sold for £12,000 (hammer).

CHARLES SIMS RA RWS (BRITISH 1873 - 1928), UNTITLED oil on board, signed 23cm x 17cm Framed Note: Sims was born in Islington, London, the son of a costume manufacturer. He was sent to Paris during 1887-8 to learn commerce, but began full-time art studies at the Royal College of Art in 1890. He also studied at the Académie Julian in Paris in 1891-2, under Benjamin Constant and Jules Lefebre, and at the Royal Academy Schools from 1892 to 1895, where he was awarded the Landseer Scholarship. At first influenced by Orchardson and Bastien-Lepage, his later work shows an interest in Italian quattrocento painting and Puvis de Chavannes. He exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1894. In 1903 he returned to Paris to study briefly under Baschet. His first one-man exhibition was held at the Leicester Galleries, London in 1906. Other exhibitions include one at the Knoedler Galleries, New York in 1926. He was elected an Associate of the Royal Academy in 1908 and a full member in 1915, and was made a member of the Royal Watercolour Society in 1911. He was an Official War Artist in 1918, Keeper of the Royal Academy 1920-6, and a Trustee of the Tate Gallery 1920-7. In addition to his many society portraits, Sims painted "King John Confronted by his Barons" for St Stephen's Hall, Westminster in 1924. Just before his death by suicide he painted pictures of a mystical nature, which were initially rejected by the Academy. He was the author of "Picture Making: Technique & Inspiration", which was published posthumously by his son Alan Sims with a critical survey of the artist's work and life. He died at St Boswells, Scotland. He was included in the Royal Academy Late Members exhibition of 1933.

Born in 1894 in Suzhou, China, Wu was the grandson of calligrapher and painter Wu Dacheng. From a young age, he was able to study the works of masters from the Qing dynasty. Following the establishment of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, Wu taught at the Shanghai Institute of Chinese Painting. He went on to become one of the city’s most important connoisseurs, writing extensively about the works in his collection, many of which he inherited from his grandfather. During the mid-1960s, the artist suffered a number of crippling physical ailments which left him hospitalized. He committed suicide while in hospice in 1968 in Shanghai, China. Today, Wu’s works are held in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the National Palace Museum in Taipei, and the Shanghai Museum of Art, among others.
