About the Item
John Bulloch Souter
1890 - 1972
Still Life of Pink Roses
Oil on canvas, signed lower left
Image size: 11 1/4 x 15 1/2 inches (28.5 x 39.5 cm)
Period Gilt frame
This still life shows three beautiful roses in a pewter vase, painted by the artist circa 1950. It was after World War Two, when Souter returned to live in Aberdeen, that commissions for portraits and copying became scarce. Thus, the artist’s wife encouraged Souter to produce landscapes and still lifes, especially paintings of roses – this is mostly likely to be one of these works.
It is a fine example of early 20th century Scottish floral oil. The painting has a brilliant use of colour, with the blush pink tones of the rose petals providing a soft contrast to the greys of the table and wall behind.
Whilst the flowers themselves have been formed using blocks of colour, somewhat reducing each petal to their elementary shapes, attention to realism can be seen in the distortion of the flower stems as viewed through the glass vase. Souter has also created the form of the vase with economy, with a couple of well-placed dashes of white paint to create highlights glistening off the glass.

John Bulloch Souter
John Bulloch Souter was born in Aberdeen, Scotland, where he studied at Gray’s School of Art. A traveling scholarship allowed him to visit the continent, where he was impressed by Velasquez, Chardin and Vermeer. After serving in the Royal Medical Corps during World War I, Souter soon married and moved to London. It was during this post-war period that he made his name as a portrait painter; his subjects included personalities such as Ivor Novello, Gladys Cooper and Fay Compton. Souter exhibited at Redfern Gallery, the Fine Art Society, Royal Scottish Academy and the Royal Academy, where his notorious painting The Breakdown was shown in 1926. During World War II, he worked in the Censorship Department as a translator, while also restoring paintings at Windsor Castle. Souter returned to Aberdeen in 1952, where he remained.

Untitled Still Life with Reclining Nude recto
By Roger Marcel Limouse
Located in Berlin, MD
Roger Marcel Limouse, (Algerian/French 1894 - 1989) Still Life, October 1939, Oil on canvas. Signed upper right and marked Oct 39 on back. Greens, Blues, and Yellow/Browns prevail in this still life of a table with fruits, cake, and a candle. Nude is painted verso on stretched canvas under frame. Frame 24.5 x 28.875 x 1.625, Canvas 21.875 x 23.875
A student of Paul Albert Laurens (1870-1934) at the Académie Julian, his figurative work, very colorful, with powerful and stripped down forms, made him one of the last representatives of Fauvism and the eldest of the group of Painters of Poetic Reality. He belongs to the School of Paris.
In 1943, Jacques de Laprade dedicated a book to Roger Limouse in the collection "The Masters of Tomorrow" directed by Francis Carco. He writes, "One of the characteristics of this personality is strength. There is nothing in Limouse that lacks relief. This small and extremely vigorous man seduces by his direct and dru language, by his deep conviction, by the picturesque of his stories, by his very life which testifies to his energy.
In 1948, Roger Limouse was appointed professor at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris (Professor at the School of Fine Arts). He held this position until 1964. In 1949, the journalist Gisèle d'Assailly (1904-1969) devoted a book "With the Painters of Poetic Reality" to eight friendly painters, supporters of a colorful and intimate figurative painting of French inspiration, Maurice Brianchon, Christian Caillard...
