oil on board, titled label verso mounted, framed and under glass image size 14cm x 18cm, overall size 28cm x 31cm Exhibition label verso: May 1973, Aitken Dott & Son, Edinburgh Note: Earl Haig (son of the Field Marshall) started painting as a prisoner of war. The paintings and drawings he made in Colditz Castle were exhibited at The Scottish Gallery in 1945 in an exhibition attended by HM The Queen. He went on to train under Victor Pasmore and Lawrence Gowing at Camberwell School of Art, London when fellow Scot William Johnstone was Principal. He had a distinguished exhibiting career primarily with The Scottish Gallery which spanned over six decades, concluding with his remarkable 90th birthday show in 2008. However, the same prestigious Edinburgh Gallery staged a Memorial show for Haig in 2011 and a major centenary show in 2018. In 2020 another solo show was staged (November - December 2020) by The Scottish Gallery focussing on examples from the Scottish Borders and Italy, where he spent an increasing amount of time from the mid-1970s. Earl Haig's work was shown widely elsewhere in Britain and on the continent, latterly including Clarges Gallery and Gallery 10, London. His work held in the collections of HM The Queen and other members of the Royal family, Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art and further public and notable corporate collections. Earl Haig was a member of the Scottish Arts Council and of the Royal Fine Art Commission for Scotland and a Trustee of the National Galleries of Scotland. As a landscape painter he was fond of simple, almost naïve images infused with a rich palette. Lived in Bemersyde, Melrose, Scotland.
