WILLIAM MCCANCE (SCOTTISH 1894-1970) FORCE X, OR DIKS RAC (THE ACCIDENTAL APPROACH) - 1961 Signed and dated ’61 lower right, inscribed verso, oil on board 61cm x 45cm (24in x17.5in), unframed From the Estate of William McCance. Literature: Patrick Elliott, Wiliam McCance, 1894-1970, National Galleries of Scotland, Edinburgh, 1990, p.17, pl.12. Diks Rac is ‘car chase’ written backwards.Inscriptions verso read: Car Skid or one up for the roadDiks Rac, The Accidental Approach Re-titled: Force X, after May Abbott talkWoman's HourOct 20 1964W McCance28 AvenueGirvan.The Art Edit presents paintings, drawings and prints by William McCance (1894–1970) and his circle. McCance and his wife Agnes Miller Parker (1895-1980) moved to London in 1920 and were amongst the earliest Scots to adopt a Wyndham Lewis-inspired vorticism. Their mutual inclination towards line and pattern lent itself well to the graphic arts. Miller Parker was a talented wood engraver and illustrator, while McCance worked across painting, printmaking, design, sculpture, writing and typography.In 1930 McCance became second Controller of the Gregynog Press, a significant private press in Montgomeryshire, Wales. The Press flourished under his stewardship, and he oversaw the production of several exquisite limited edition publications. Gregynog was unique at the time in that publications were printed, typset, illustrated and bound under one roof. McCance and Miller Parker contributed designs and engravings, as did the artists Gertrude Hermes (1901–1983) and Blair Hughes Stanton (1902-1981), who was also employed at the Press in a directorial capacity. However, owing to fraught relations with the owners of the Press, McCance resigned after three years.In 1933, having relocated to a converted windmill in Albrighton near Wolverhampton, he began to work on figurative red clay compositions which he fired at a local brickworks. Their curvature and solidity exhibit an affinity with the contemporary output of Henry Moore and Frank Dobson. These sculptures feature repeatedly throughout McCance’s still life paintings of the 1940s, and while McCance’s style had by this point changed substantially, his use of sculptural studio props endured.By 1943 McCance was lecturer in Typography and Book Production at the University of Reading. The few works from this later period held in public collection indicate a preoccupation with the Venus of Laussel, the c.25,000 year old limestone figure of a female nude discovered in 1911 in a rock shelter in the Dordogne. McCance likely encountered the Venus during a visit to the region after the Second World War, and nude figures with smooth simplified curves inspired by the Venus recurred within his work hereon. McCance parted ways with Miller Parker in 1955, and by 1960 he had retired to Scotland. He died in Ayrshire in 1970.

* DAVID REDPATH MICHIE OBE RSA RWA FRSA RGI (SCOTTISH 1928 - 2015), SNAKE MAN, BLUE AND WHITE, MARRAKECH oil on board, signed, titled labels verso framed and under glass image size 21cm x 21cm, overall size 36cm x 36cm Handwritten artist's label verso Exhibition labels verso: The Christmas Show at the Royal Scottish Academy 2020 Note: David Michie OBE RSA was born in San Raphael, France, the son of painter Anne Redpath. After National Service (1947 to 1949), when he qualified as an instructor in the Royal Artillery Signals Training regiment, he studied at Edinburgh College of Art (ECA) from 1949 to 1953, where he was taught by William Gillies, and then won a travelling scholarship to Italy, with fellow student, John Houston. David originally lectured at Gray’s School of Art in Aberdeen. He returned to ECA to teach in 1961 and retired almost 30 years later, in 1990, as Head of School of Drawing and Painting, having served as Vice Principal from 1974-1977 and being made a Professor in 1988. In 1979, David was Visiting Artist at the University of the Arts in Belgrade. In 1991, he went to the University of California at Santa Barbara as Visiting Professor. He was awarded an OBE in the New Year of 1997. He received an Honorary Fellowship from ECA in 2009 “in recognition of [his] outstanding contribution to the life of the College and the education of its students”. David Michie's drawings, prints and paintings explore two major themes. Firstly, the diversity of nature, particularly seen through studies of birds, plants and insects from his wide-ranging travels. He recorded his observations in many sketchbooks, gathering a lifetime of visual data. He was also very much drawn to the more colourful, absurd, eccentric, and humorous sides of human behaviour, such as performance, theatre and people at play. David was a long-time enthusiast of French Cinema, enjoying the diverse work of directors from Pagnol to Jaques Tati. A prolific artist, David had many solo exhibitions in Edinburgh, London and throughout the UK, as well as further afield in the USA and across Europe. His work is held in numerous public collections, including those of : HM Queen Elizabeth II, Aberdeen Art Gallery & Museums; Allied Lyons; Art & Heritage Collections,; Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen; Artemis; ArtForm; Art in Healthcare; City of Edinburgh Council; Dumfries and Galloway Council; Dumbarton Educational Trust; Edinburgh College of Art; Edinburgh University; Falconer Museum; Moray Council; Fife Council; Fleming-Wyfold Art Foundation (previously known as The Fleming Collection); Glasgow Museums; Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh; Highland Council; James Capel; King’s College, London; Lillie Art Gallery; East Dunbartonshire Council; Maggie’s Edinburgh (Cancer Care); McLean Museum and Art Gallery; Inverclyde Council; National Galleries of Scotland; NM Rothschild; Paintings in Hospitals; Perth & Kinross Council; Queen Elizabeth College, London; RAC; Reading Art Gallery; Royal Scottish Academy of Art & Architecture; Royal West of England Academy; Scottish Borders Council; Scottish Life Assurance Co.; Shetland Museum and Archives; Tate Gallery, London; University of Stirling; Victoria Gallery & Museum; University of Liverpool; Woolley Hall, Wakefield Council.
