Anne Redpath
(Scottish, 1895–1965)
Biography
Anne Redpath was a Scottish painter best known for her expressive still lifes of domestic interior space, primitive depictions of rural life, and floral arrangements. Her paintings frequently teeter on the brink of abstraction, featuring lively and expansive marks that animate her surfaces. A major figure in The Edinburgh School, Redpath was born in 1895 in Galashiels, Scotland. She had said that her aesthetic was formed through childhood memories, explaining that "I do with a spot of red or yellow in a harmony of grey, what my father did in his tweed." Following study at the Edinburgh College of Art in 1913, Redpath began exhibiting her work regionally, eventually gaining an associate professorship at the Royal Scottish Academy in 1947, becoming the first female academician there in 1952. Redpath's oeuvre includes themes of Catholicism, Impressionism, and personal experience, and her work can be found in institutions such as the National Gallery of Modern Art in Edinburgh and the University of Edinburgh. She died in 1965 in Edinburgh, Scotland.
