Craigie Aitchison’s Hot Hound

Sadly, due to copyright restrictions and prickly gallery managers, the image previously posted on this small dog blog page has been removed. May I recommend that curious hounds do image searches in major gallery collections such as the National Gallery, London, and the Tate Modern.

Craigie Aitchison is a Scottish painter. After studying Law Aitchison attended the Slade School of Fine Art in London (1952–4). His work is characterized by the use of intense, pure colour to describe shape and form in extremely spare compositions.

Aitchison’s subject matter is traditional, featuring religious themes, landscapes, portraits and still-lifes. In 1955 Aitchison was awarded the British Council Italian Government Scholarship for painting and travelled to Italy. In much of his work colour and composition are key.

In 1978 Aitchison was elected an Associate Member and in 1988 a Member of the Royal Academy of Arts, London.

Woof!
