David W Gunn (1865-1935). As a contemporary of the Scottish Colourists, Gunn shared similar values in their love of light and strong colour, but is in many ways more bold for his work is less constrained by mainstream conventions and the influence of patrons. His choice of subject reflects the direct influence of post-impressionism in its use of pure colour applied directly to the surface without preparatory line. Born near Thurso in Caithness, he was commissioned into the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders along with fellow artist, David MacBeth Sutherland. We know surprisingly little of his life, but following his return from wartime France, he appears to have settled in Dunfermline where he continued to work. Gunn was a founder member of the 1922 Group that consisted of a group of artists associated with the Edinburgh College of Art including William Crozier, John Maxwell and William Gillies. Exhibitions of the 1922 group were held at the New Gallery in Shandwick Place from 1923 until 1928. He exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy and a number of his paintings are included in the permanent collection of Pittencreiff House Museum, Dunfermline including a wonderful work titled 'The last Mooring of the Ajax'.

Early Abstract 1926 - Scottish Abstract art modernist oil painting
By William Johnstone
Located in London, GB
Scottish artist William Johnstone OBE painted this stunning abstract oil painting. It is a superb important piece of Scottish Art History and early twentieth century abstraction. An early modernist work, dated 1926 so way ahead of its time and other abstract artists. At the forefront of the Scottish Renaissance and European modernism this painting pre dates the abstraction and Abstract Expressionism of the later mid twentieth century. Earlier than Arshille Gorkuy who was, in the thirties, a bridge between European Modernism and American Abstract Expressionism, Johnstone was inspired and influenced by ideas surrounding the surreal and the subconscious and this painting appears to have elements of this thought process within its key abstract passages.
