Signed and titled still life oil painting circa 1950 by Scottish post impressionist painter Anne Redpath. The piece depicts a vase of deep purple gloxinias - the green foliage set against a purple, blue and red background. Signature: Signed lower right and titled verso Dimensions: Framed: 27"x31" Unframed: 20"x24" Provenance: The Lefevre Gallery, London (labels verso) Sotheby's, Gleneagles, 2 September 1998, lot 1503 Anne Redpath was the daughter of a textiles designer. From 1913 to 1919 she attended the Edinburgh College of Art. She continued her training in Paris, Florence and Siena. When she got married she accompanied her husband, the architect James Beattie Michie, to France in 1920, and stopped painting to look after her family. In 1934 she returned to Edinburgh and took up painting again. Various academies presented her with awards. From 1919 onward she exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy exhibitions, but only showed her work there again regularly from 1935, and then practically every year until she died, each time with several works. She was elected to the Royal Scottish Academy in 1952. She also took part in many group exhibitions but mainly held solo shows. In her early career she produced mostly still-lifes, then later focused on landscape painting. She was active in Paris, the South of France, Italy, Spain, Brittany and Corsica. In her work she was clearly influenced by the inter-war School of Paris, and her painting is tasteful, decorative, and in a tradition somewhere between Maurice Brianchon and André Marchand. She was considered one of the most important Scottish painters of her time.
