Anstruther

Artist: Gillies, William George, Sir, CBE RA RSA PPRSW · 1898-1973

The work may have been painted in situ but was more likely executed back in his studio from sketches made on the spot.

The prominent, directional brushstrokes are evocative of the work of Cezanne and point to Gillies' awareness of and preoccupation with Post Impressionist painting.
