Biography:
John Duncan Fergusson, Scottish painter and occasional sculpture, was the leading figure of the Scottish Colourists. He mostly painted landscapes and figures, initially in the style of Whistler. Beginning in 1895, Fergusson made frequent trips to Paris, eventually moving there from 1907 to 1914. Early during his period in France, his work was influenced by Manet, but by 1907, he adopted Fauvism. Fergusson returned to Britain in 1914 because of the war, living in London until 1929. He then returned to Paris until 1940. From 1940 to his death, Fergusson lived in Glascow where he founded the New Art Club. He was also the editor of the journal, Scottish Art and Letters and wrote a book, Modern Scottish Painting.
