"Summer Haze"
Oil on canvas, signed lower left
Image size: 18 x 24 inches
Original gilt frame
David Forrester Wilson's sensitive portrayal of a young girl, deep in thought, in the midst of a lush meadow with rolling fields stretching into the distance.
David Forrester Wilson studied at the Glasgow School of Arts from 1892-3 and 1899-1906 under the Belgian Symbolist, Jean Delville; he ultimately become the institution's Head of Drawing and Painting in 1932. Forrester Wilson's work ranged from aesthetic, symbolist experiments to naturalist landscapes, revealing influences as diverse as Delville, the Glasgow Boys, James Abbott McNeill Whistler and Jules Bastien-Lepage. A frequent exhibitor at the Royal Glasgow Institute throughout his career, in 1919 and throughout the 1920s
Rather incongruously, Wilson was reportedly one of Andy Warhol's favourite artists. One of his works, 'The Wind', was included in the estate sale held by Sotheby's in 1988, and Warhol also had several of his other works.

Elizabeth Higgins (Canadian, b. 1960)
Elizabeth Higgins describes herself as an abstract figurative and landscape painter. Everything around her serves as a potential subject, an inspiration to begin a painting. Fidelity to the landscape, the figure, or the still life is relative, as she isn’t interested in literal depictions; instead, it’s the abstract relationships of these shapes and colors, the abstract pictorial design that drives her work.
Higgins’ paintings are rooted in the tradition stemming from Courbet, Derain, Bonnard, Matisse, Morandi, German Expressionism, and the Canadian Group of Seven (also known as the Algonquin School of landscape painters, 1920–1933). She is influenced by the work of her artist-teachers Paul Resika—himself a student of Hans Hofmann—and Robert De Niro, Sr. (1922-1993), as well as the paintings of contemporary artist Peter Doig. Her artistic evolution stretches across this continuum.
It is the “in-between”, the hovering between representation and abstraction, that interests her, not the labeling effect of details; instead, she aims directly at the spirit of the painting—of making something come to life. John Goodrich wrote in her catalog essay, “Elizabeth Higgins’ direct brushwork and simplified forms suggest an energy, but crucially, reveal a painter who knows the power of color…”
Elizabeth Higgins was born in Toronto, Canada, in 1960. As a Helena...
