Joseph Crawhall RSW 1861-1913
Overview
Barn Owl, exhibited 2013 - SOLD
Crawhall was a close friend of several of the Glasgow Boys. He differed to the others in his preference for water based paints, rather than oil. Inspired by fellow Glasgow Boy Arthur Melville, but also Japanese art, he developed a fluent, almost calligraphic way of painting where each cursive brushstroke tells as an individual mark.
