| Painter, born in Denholm, Scottish Borders, SE Scotland, UK. He studied at Edinburgh College of Art and subsequently in Paris. His work in the late 1920s and 1930s shows the influence of Surrealism in its use of rounded semi-abstract images suggestive of dream-like landscapes and human forms. He held a series of teaching posts in London, latterly as principal of the Central School of Arts and Crafts (1947–60). |
