William Packer examines the work of John Houston, the Fife-born Scottish painter who delights in hot, pure colour, gestural brush strokes and the explosive effects of the sea and sky. John Houston was educated at Edinburgh School of Art.
This is the first book on John Houston (b. 1930) - one of the most distinguished and prolific of contemporary Scottish painters.
A graduate of Edinburgh College of Art, John Houston remained closely associated with the college through his role as a teacher: he lectured at Edinburgh from 1955 to 1989. Though dedicated to teaching, Houston remained committed to his own work throughout his time at Edinburgh and successfully forged a distinct artistic identity simultaneously.
In a fascinating study of the artist's varied career, William Packer charts the development of Houston's life as a painter across five decades. Renowned for its intense use of colour, his work developed an underlying consistency from an early stage. Expressionistic, with romantic overtones and gestural brushstrokes, Houston is a master of encapsulating the atmospheric mood of any setting. This is borne out in the 70 colour images reproduced here for both loyal and new-found followers to admire.
The limited edition of 50 copies, is supplied with an original watercolour.
