It is fifty years since the death of Anne Redpath at what seems today like the young age of sixty-nine. In her late-flowering success on the stage of the art-world she became enormously admired, even revered, amongst her peers and a wide circle of friends. L.S. Lowry sought her out and took tea in her elegant flat in London Street; Reid & Lefevre, that most patrician of London galleries, held her exhibitions in the south (always the occasion for a new hat) and in Edinburgh a younger generation of painters (often friends of her painter sons) flocked to her home and studio for good conversation in an atmos-phere where art mattered.

Redpath was kind and generous with her fellow artists not just from professional courtesy but from a genuine warmth and sympathy. She had achieved much but all of it was hard won and well earned. She sent work to all the Scottish exhibiting bodies as well as the Royal West of England Academy and Royal Academy summer show but most importantly she showed with The Scottish Gallery enjoying close relationships with Mrs Proudfoot and then Bill Macaulay exhibiting in 1950, 1953, 1957, 1960, 1963 and fittingly in a memorial show in 1965. She was included in all the major survey and group exhibi-tions of Scottish art and by the time of her death had an international reputation.

Today that reputation is intact, although much else manages to shout louder, sometimes drowning out the quieter voices. Like the previous generation of colourists her practice embraced belle peinture and her subject was chiefly still life and landscape. There is also present an elegance or even restraint which perhaps derived from her love of the quattrocento. At the same time we can appreciate her enjoyment of her materials evident in her vigorous mark making with brush, knife and rags so evident in her oil painting. These qualities might never have been be reconciled in the hands of a lesser painter but endure in her work ensuring her artistic legacy is still vibrant fifty years since her passing.

C

Anne Redpath’s death fifty years ago in an Edinburgh nursing home at the age of sixty-nine was a shock to her family, friends, fellow artists and the wider public. When I was researching my biography of her almost a quarter of a century later there was still a sense of loss felt by the people I interviewed. Although she had been unwell for the last decade of her life her work was still developing and she had earlier that year had an exhibition of Venetian subjects at Lefevre in London that had sold out by the second day. So it was felt that it was a career as well as a life cut short.

And yet with the perspective that half a century gives, Redpath’s career as an artist now seems remarkably full and complete. From the time of her return from France with her young family in 1932, when she committed to full-time painting, her stylistic and technical development was relentless. There was a constant quest for a fresh vocabulary to describe new subject matter. She avoided that bane of the history of painting in Scotland, and admit-tedly of other Schools, of artists sitting back when they have developed a successful style and popular format. Her intellectual curiosity was never satisfied and she was always open to the ideas of other, often younger, artists – the Action Painting of Jackson Pollock and the Tachisme of Antoni Tapies were strong influences in her final years. Both artists had rejected subject for complete abstraction which Redpath never did. She used the subject matter of her painting as a departure point, often abstracted but always anchored by the seen object.

Redpath was quite sure that her artistic sensitivity came from her father who was an innovative designer of tweed in the Border town of Hawick. However her ambition to go to art school was only acceded to by her parents if she also took a teacher training course. Riskily she decided to attend the two courses concurrently in Edinburgh. The level of her aptitude and determination can be gauged by her being the sole recipient of a travel-ling scholarship in 1919 from Edinburgh College of Art whilst also successfully completing the teaching course at Moray House.

She made full use of her scholarship, visiting Brussels, Bruges and Paris before moving on to Italy where she Detail from Wild Flowers on a Bank, c.1962 [cat.29]

consistently attracted her was church architecture, usually the interiors. She herself was not a church-goer but she enjoyed the exoticism and richness of Baroque ornament in the churches of Catholic countries on the Mediterranean. They constituted a sharp contrast to her strict Presbyterian upbringing in the Borders. Her father’s obituary in the local newspaper The Hawick Express records rather tellingly that ‘logic was more native to him than feeling’; his daughter spent much of her life acting out the opposite. There were also practical reasons for painting the interiors of churches. Firstly they were cool, whereas outside Redpath was troubled by the heat as she got older, but also when she painted in the street she was constantly disturbed by inquisitive children and it was not in her nature to ignore them.

It is fitting that this celebratory exhibition is at The Scottish Gallery with which she had such a happy and fruitful working relationship following her first exhibition there in 1950. And it was through this association that

to the island with her son David, his future wife Eileen and Anne’s friend Katie Horsman the potter.

Paintings from her month-long stay on Skye formed the core of Redpath’s first solo show in Scotland at the Gordon Small gallery on Princes Street in March 1947. The pictures sold well and this enabled her to plan a trip abroad for the first time since her return from France in 1934. She trav-elled alone to Paris and then on to Menton on the Italian border, twenty miles from where she once lived. Street in Menton [cat.8] is a product of this trip and it gives a palpa-ble sense of the artist’s familiarity with, and affinity for the place. When Redpath returned to Scotland her sketches and studies of Menton were used to create the large oil Window in Menton (Fleming-Wyfold Collection) with the figure of her daughter-in-law Eileen in the foreground. This painting is her chef-d’oeuvre of the late 1940s just as Red Slippers is of the beginning of that decade.

The artistic stimulus that came from her stay in Menton encouraged her to make many more European trips in the following years, firstly to Spain and then to Brittany, Portugal, Corsica, The Canary Islands and finally to Amsterdam and then Venice. Each new landscape and culture that Redpath encountered changed and informed not only the landscapes and architectural subjects she produced but also everything she painted thereafter including her still lifes. In Corsica in 1954 and in Gran Canaria in 1959 she experienced harsh sun-bleached hillsides where in the resulting paintings the houses appear as though they grow out of the hills giving them a ‘buttress-like presence’. Simultaneously she suggests erosion, decay and permanence.

The effect that the landscape of Gran Canaria had on her palette is illustrated by two paintings in this exhibition. The dark tar-like background of Still Life with Flowers [cat.30] with the rich colours of the flowers set against has parallels with the dark volcanic sand of Boats on the Shore, Canary Islands [cat.26] against which the colourful boats resonate. It seems unlikely that she could have painted the still life if she had not been to the Canary Islands two years before.

Apart from painting coastal scenes and hillside villages in continental Europe, the other subject that Anne Redpath in her studio, c.1960

encountered her main influences. Tellingly her copy of the angel in Botticelli’s Madonna of the Magnificat in the Uffizi [cat.1] is less of a copy than her own interpretation of the study of the youthful figure – it is more Redpath than Botticelli. Unwavering independence is the constant characteristic of Redpath both as a painter and as a person. Her portrait of her husband the architect James ‘Jim’ Michie [cat.3], painted in 1920, the year of their marriage, is an impressively subtle and considered study of his character as well as his appearance. Redpath painted occasional portraits throughout her career but they are always of people close to her and she never appears to have considered portrait painting as a source of income.

It is well known that Redpath put her career on hold whilst she was bringing up her three sons, initially in St

Omer in Northern France where her husband was an architect for the War Graves Commission. It was close to what had been the Western Front only three years before and the landscape as well as the local people would still have shown the scars. When they moved to Cap d’Ail on the French Riviera in 1925 it must have been an uplifting experience for the whole family. Anne produced enough paintings to stage an exhibition in nearby St Raphael in 1928. The work was mainly in watercolour and has affinities both in handling and in the subject matter of harbours and buildings with what Charles Rennie Mackintosh was producing nearby in Port-Vendres. It is tantalising to imagine they met although there is no record of it.

When Jim’s job as the in-house architect to an American businessman came to an end in 1934, Anne and the boys returned to the Borders and Jim moved to the south of England. Although contact was maintained until Jim’s death in 1959 they never again lived together as a family. Anne now needed to provide for her family and from this point on she devoted herself to painting. Much of her work at the outset was of Border villages such as Wilton Dean and Trow Mill and she painted trees in farmland (cat. 4 & 5) which have a new vigour and dynamism giving a sense of renewed purpose. But the Border landscape did not satisfy her for long. Through the rest of 1930s and into the 1940s Redpath produced a series of ever more ambitious and sophisticated still lifes and domestic interiors that culminated in The Indian Rug (or Red Slippers) of 1942 (sngMA, Edinburgh). Matisse is the most obvious source of inspiration for these works but as in all stages of her career Redpath retains her own voice. She has by this stage become a painter who can orchestrate and balance complex compositions painted with an extreme sensitivity for surface texture. Only Sir William Gillies at that time comes anywhere near to matching her as a still life painter in Scotland.

In 1940s Redpath started to travel further afield again, initially only to the Isle of Skye in 1942 and 1946. The gouache of Loch Snizort [cat.6] with its singing blues of the water and distant hills, and the informal composition, reflect the enjoyable, relaxed mood of the trip she made

she was taken on two years later by Reid and Lefevre in London. There, and through her regularly showing at the Royal Academy in London, Redpath came to the attention of some of the most respected art critics of the day, most notably Eric Newton and Terence Mullaly. The former, reviewing the rA Summer Exhibition in 1948 in the Sunday Times, felt that in comparison with the rest of the paintings ‘… Anne Redpath’s still lifes stand out like patches of blue sky on a grey day’. In 1961 Terence Mullaly wrote in the Daily Telegraph, again in a review of the Summer Show, ‘There are many possible justifications for the rA’s vast and unwieldy anthology. One of the most cogent is satisfied if it contains even one really exceptional work. This year there are eight of them, two by William MacTaggart and six by Anne Redpath.’

It is a nice co-incidence that this is the year that the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art stage their exhibi-tion of Modern Scottish Women Painters and Sculptors 1885–1965. The cut – off point was consciously chosen for the year of Anne Redpath’s death. She herself changed her position about women exhibiting collectively. In 1940s she was President of the Society of Scottish Women Artists but in later years she told Sidney Goodsir Smith the idea of womens’ exhibitions was as silly ‘as would be a special exhibition by men over six feet tall taking size fourteen shoes!’ This volte face was justifiable by how much easier it had got for women in the intervening years to be accepted in the male-dominated exhibitions. Joan Eardley and Anne Redpath in Scotland and Barbara Hepworth and Laura Knight were in the vanguard of this advance.

Anne Redpath was the first woman painter to be elected to full membership of rsA and in 1960 the first since the war to be made an ArA. But for all her achievements her reputation fifty years after her death is not as substantial as it should be. Her paintings convey visual pleasure in her surroundings without political, social or ironic comment. That is not in tune with our times. But Anne Redpath’s vision, amply demonstrated in this exhibition, was original, innovative and life affirming. Those are lasting qualities.
