Iain Faulkner

Iain Faulkner (f. 1973)
Since graduating from Glasgow School of Art in 1996 with a BA (Honours) Degree in Fine Art, he has established himself as a skilled draughtsman, an artist with the integrity to embrace the difficult path of contemporary figurative painting wherein the yardsticks of competence and painterly skill can be measured and judged, warts and all. Still only in his thirties, Faulkner has already had numerous successful solo shows in the UK, USA, Spain and Italy.

William Stott of Oldham

William Stott of Oldham (1857–1900) Girl in a Meadow
William Stott omkom under en sjöresa, därav hans alltför korta liv. Det berättas att han gjorde en stor målning "The birth of Venus" där Whistlers fästmö Maud Franklin, stod modell. Whistler lär ha blivit mycket irriterad. Målningen är inte alls i klass med flickan här ovan. Bedöm själv
