Anne Redpath

Born 1895 – Died 1965
Anne Redpath was born in Galashiels, Scotland. She trained at Edinburgh College of Art and won a scholarship which enabled her to travel to Belgium, France and Italy. She settled in France during the 1920s, producing cézannesque landscapes, before returning to Scotland in 1934. Redpath focussed closely on still life during the war years, producing the highly colourist canvases for which she is best remembered. The colour values Redpath developed in her still life paintings to c.1949 are carried over into her return to landscape in the 1950s, where she worked in Spain, France, Gran Canaria, Brittany and Fife. By the time of her death she was President of the Scottish Society of Women Artists and an ARA.
