Note: Perpetua (Pip) Pope (29 May 1916 – 31 May 2013) was a Scottish painter of landscapes, flower pieces and still-life compositions in both oil and watercolours, and was also an art teacher in Edinburgh. Born in Solihull, England, to Scottish parents, Pope's family moved to rural Aberdeenshire when she was still a young child. Her father was a businessman and keen art collector, from whom she inherited a number of significant works such as one of Samuel Peploe's Iona paintings. Pope attended Albyn School in Aberdeen, and then commenced study at Edinburgh College of Art in 1936. Her studies were interrupted by World War II, during which time she served with the Women's Auxiliary Air Force. In 1946 Pope resumed her studies at Edinburgh College of Art, then undertook teacher training at Moray House. Pope held several teaching posts in primary and private schools, including Lansdowne House in Edinburgh and the role of art mistress at Oxenfoord Castle School, Midlothian. Pope took up a post as art lecturer at Moray House in the mid-1960s, which she held until her early retirement in 1973. Upon retirement from teaching, Pope concentrated on painting at her home, Weaver's Cottage in Carlops. She is linked to The Edinburgh School of artists, having studied under Sir William Gillies at Edinburgh College of Art and formed friendships with fellow artists such as Joan Eardley. Like many artists of the Edinburgh School, Pope worked in both oil and watercolour. She primarily painted still life and landscapes. Her work was heavily inspired by the Aberdeenshire landscapes of her youth, but she also travelled frequently both within Scotland and Europe, notably Cyprus, Lebanon, the Peloponnese and Spain, looking for inspiration. Pope exhibited at the Royal Academy (London), with the Royal Scottish Academy frequently from 1942 when her address was Hay Lodge, East Trinity Road, Edinburgh and had a series of solo shows at The Scottish Gallery from 1956. Explaining her intentions in painting the Scottish landscape, Pope said in 2008: I have tried to paint the intense pleasure I get from being in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. I don't want to paint views particularly, it's more the feeling of freedom - the changing light, the subtle colour of the countryside, the sand blown by the wind, the wild flowers, the machair and the sand dunes and always the feeling of space and air. — Perpetua Pope. The Scottish Gallery (Edinburgh) stated in their "Perpetua Pope: Painter & Collector" exhibition catalogue 4 - 30 April 2014: When someone attains a good age, and Perpetua Pope had just celebrated her 97th birthday when she died in May 2013, there are perhaps few to mourn; peers have passed away and the world has contracted. Not so for Perpetua; she was a conscientious friend with a warmth and openness that attracted all, regardless of age or profession. She was a painter and many artists are numbered among her friends. To these she was generous, even deferential, and she admired and collected many others’ paintings, as this exhibition amply illustrates. She worked in oil and watercolour, like many of the Edinburgh School, dividing her energies between the two media, never letting herself become stale or lapse into repetition. This memorial exhibition, featuring her work and her collection pays tribute to one of the most enduring and warmest personalities in the Scottish art world.
