Robin Philipson: Sir Robin Philipson, PRSA, HRA, RSW (1916-1992), painter, teacher and printmaker, was one of the major figures in Scottish painting in the second half of the twentieth century. He studied at Edinburgh College of Art from 1936-40 and joined the staff in 1947. His early subjects were mainly landscapes, still lifes and interiors and in the 1950's he was influenced by American Abstract Expressionism. He had his first one man show at Aitken Dott & Son (The Scottish Gallery) in Edinburgh in 1954 and had other shows later at that gallery and at Roland, Browse and Delbanco in London.   A retrospective exhibition was held at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art in 1999.

Robin Philipson was knighted in 1976 for his contribution to the arts in Scotland. He was President of the Royal Scottish Academy 1973-83 and an Honorary Royal Academician. His work is held in many public collections in Scotland and elsewhere.  One of his paintings sold at Sotheby's in early May 2008 for close to £200,000, reflecting the growing international interest in his work.
