About the Item
A Fierce Bull. 1911. Drypoint. Hardie 108. 5 3/8 x 8 (sheet 8 5/16 x 11 7/8). Edition 8. An exceptional impression with rich drypoint burr printed on antique laid paper. A proof of the utmost rarity. Signed, numbered and titled in ink. Housed in a 16 x 20-inch archival mat.
The bullfight series was one of the artist's early successes, bringing him local and international acclaim.
Hardie writes: "The bull, his neck covered with darts, charges sideways from the left. The matador, with sword and muleta (a red flag) stands with feet wide apart."
Born in Aberdeenshire, James McBey was a self-taught artist and etcher, best known for his prints, which coincided with an etching revival in the 20th century. After training himself in various techniques, in 1911 he gained an exhibition opportunity at the Goupil Gallery, London. From this point on his prints were published in London and Glasgow, and during the First World War McBey was appointed official war artist to the Palestine Expeditionary Force. McBey's work is held in a variety of galleries across the UK and beyond, with Aberdeen Art Gallery holding the vast majority.
