The first biography of one of the North East’s best-known
artists. Written by well-known local art historian and author
Marshall Hall, and titled John Falconar Slater – The North
East’s Weatherproof Artist, it tells of how the Newcastle-born
artist acquired his nickname by wearing his weatherproof oilskins
to paint the local coastline in the wildest of climatic conditions.
At a time when artists on the Continent were increasingly
succumbing to the attractions of open-air painting, leading to
their identification as “Impressionists”, a North East artist
had been independently practising it for several years, and in
weather conditions rarely tackled by its followers in France and
elsewhere.
