David Foggie

“Still Life”

1938

David Foggie was a household name all over Scotland. Since that time he had sunk into obscurity but enjoyed a revival in popularity with the 2004 Dundee exhibition of an extensive collection of his work. Foggie's works are found in the National Galleries of Scotland, the Royal Scottish Academy and many public and private collections. Foggie started his studies at the Dundee School of Art in 1887, where 10 years later, he was appointed Pupil Assistant and joined the Dundee Graphic Arts Association. The following year he left for Belgium, where he studied at the Antwerp Academy. On his return in 1904, Foggie built a house at Lucklawhill overlooking Leuchars and Balmullo in Fife, and in the following year helped found the Tayport Artists Circle. In 1920, he took a post teaching at Edinburgh College of Art.
