Ann Redpath:
Anne Redpath, RSA (1895-1965) is one of the best known
Scottish artists of the 20th century, noted in
particular for her still life subjects. She was born in
Galashiels, Selkirk, and studied at Edinburgh College of
Art from 1913. She gained a travelling scholarship in
1919 which enabled her to study and paint in Belgium,
France and Italy. She married in 1920 and two of her
sons, David Michie and Alastair Michie, were later to
become well known artists. After living in France for a
number of years Redpath returned to Edinburgh in 1934
and began to paint actively again, exhibiting widely
including at the Royal Scottish Academy (RSA), the Royal
Academy (from 1946), the Royal Society of British
Artists, the Royal Institute of Oil Painters (ROI), and
the Society of Scottish Painters. She was elected a full
member of the RSA in 1952, ROI 1948, and ARA 1960. Her
work is represented in many public galleries in the
UK and abroad, including the Tate Gallery, the Royal
Academy, Aberdeen Art Gallery and the Scottish National
Gallery of Modern Art which held a retrospective
exhibition in 1996-97. Although best known as a painter
in oils, she also worked in watercolour and produced a
number of lithographs in the 1950s.
