Arthur Melville was arguably the most innovative and modernist
Scottish artist of his generation and one of the finest British
watercolourists of the nineteenth century, yet he avoided
categorisation. In 1943 that the Scottish Colourist John Duncan
Fergusson confessed that although they never met, "his work opened
up to me the way to free painting - not merely freedom in the use
of paint, but freedom of outlook". This book offers a comprehensive
survey of Arthur Melville's (1855-1904) rich and varied career as
artist-adventurer, Orientalist, forerunner of The Glasgow Boys,
painter of modern life and re-interpreter of the landscape of
Scotland. His travels inspired spectacular watercolours and
paintings. This book illustrates around sixty of his works, each
with a catalogue entry, and an essay by Kenneth McConkey, which
discusses Melville's art and career.
