ARTHUR MACDONALD (SCOTTISH fl. 1895 - 1940), GLIMPSE OF THE SHORELINE, ANSTRUTHER
oil on canvas, signed
framed
image size 62cm x 37cm, overall size 75cm x 50cm
Note : MacDonald was a Scottish painter active in the first half of the twentieth century. He focused predominantly on local subjects around Fife (Scotland), painting rural scenes as well as coastal ones. His work is characterized by his colourful palette and energetic use of paint. MacDonald's work has been sold by both Sotheby's and Christie's including "The Quay, Pittenweem" (60 x 50cm oil on canvas) which sold at Sotheby's Gleneagles 30.08.06 lot 927 for £4500. "Neuk" is the Scots word for nook or corner, and the East Neuk is generally accepted to comprise the fishing villages of the most northerly part of the Firth of Forth and the land and villages slightly inland therefrom. As such it would include Elie and Earlsferry, Colinsburgh, St Monans, Pittenweem, Arncroach, Carnbee, Anstruther, Cellardyke, Kilrenny, Crail and Kingsbarns.
