oil on board, signed and dated '78; titled verso
framed
image size 75cm x 55cm, overall size 87cm x 67cm
Handwritten artist's label verso
Exhibition label verso: English Speaking Union Gallery, Edinburgh, October 1980
Note: Born in Portobello, McIsaac trained at the Edinburgh College of Art between 1930 and 1934, where he was taught by Scottish Colourist Samuel Peploe, whose style had a lasting influence on McIsaac’s still-lives and interior paintings. Whilst teaching art during the 1950s, McIsaac wrote widely on Scottish art and published in the 'Scottish Art Review', 'The Studio', and the Edinburgh Evening News. He also took to stage designing, undertaking assignments for sets and costumes for some of Scotland’s leading figures in theatre. An Edinburgh phenomenon, McIsaac opened up his studio every Saturday for 20 years, and he attracted a wide circle of native and visiting artists, writers and musicians, so becoming one of the best-known names of Edinburgh's cultural scene. Six of his paintings are held in UK public collections including The National Galleries of Scotland. His work was exhibited at the RSA from 1934 to 1982.
