Duncan Cameron
Haystacks in the Highlands

1879

About the Item

Fine painting by renowned and award-winning Scottish artist Duncan Cameron of his favorite subject, the haystacks in autumn with the scenic Scottish countryside as a backdrop. Signed and dated 1879 on lower left, this is a 19th century oil on canvas landscape painting in the best of the artist's ouevre, in the prime of Cameron’s career. In 1876 Cameron won a Gold Medal for landscape at the Crystal Palace exhibition. The year after this painting Cameron began exhibiting in the Royal Academy and Royal Scottish Academy. His haystack and cornfield paintings are his most celebrated genre. Given the timing it is highly likely this work would have been included in exhibits from 1880 onward. Cameron was born in the picturesque region of Perthshire. He was educated first in Dundee and then in South Kensington, London. His work has appeared in gallery exhibitions throughout the UK. Cameron returned to Edinburgh where he died on 1916. Saltire Gallerie acquired this painting in Scotland and imported this to Hillsborough, North Carolina. This is being sold without a frame, leaving buyers to choose the frame that fits their home or office. The gilt liner inset is intact. The price reflects the need for a frame, rather than charging for a new frame that may or may not suit all buyers. They style is listed as naturalistic but could be described as impressionist with the treatment of the haystacks and light. Presented in good condition, ready to be hung with your frame!

This painting, by Christian Berg (1893-1976) is quite interesting and unusual for his works. It is signed "Ch. Berg" and dated 1918. Berg is mostly famous for his sculptures which was to become his signum works later in his life. He is known primarily for his abstract artworks. He was educated at the Technical School and Althin's painting school in Stockholm 1911–1914. In the years 1914–1917 he studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts and started with animal painting in the spirit of Bruno Liljefors. Our painting is from this period just after he finished his studies at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. In 1921, he studied in Berlin and Dresden which was followed by a trip to Egypt in 1925. In the same year he moved to Paris and had a studio on rue Guénégaud. He studied with André Lhote and his interest in cubism was awakened. Made sketch drawings at the free academies Colarossi and La Grande Chaumière and in 1927 he met the Swedish artist Erik Olson...
