MARGOT SANDEMAN (SCOTTISH 1922 - 2009) PICNIC WITH BATHERS, mixed media on paper, signed and dated '88 29 x 42 cm Note: Margot Sandeman was an accomplished Glasgow painter who worked with Ian Hamilton Finlay and became Joan Eardley's longest-standing friend, a friendship that lasted until Eardley's death in 1963. At the GSA she was quickly singled out along with Eardley by Hugh Adam Crawford head of drawing and painting for an experiment in which a very small number of outstanding students in that 1939 session were selected for special attention. This effectively amounted to a three-year course in two years with Crawford himself as tutor. The war interrupted her painting career as did the bringing up of her children following her 1946 marriage to ceramicist James Robson. In 1970 she won the Guthrie Award of the Royal Scottish Academy, the Redpath Award from the Society of Scottish Artists and a Scottish Arts Council prize. In 1988-89 she produced a series of large canvases of bathers echoing Matisse and Seurat and in 1989 she was the Scottish Winner of the prestigious Laing Competition. She also collaborated with her old contemporary, Ian Hamilton Finlay on his texts and also created a parallel series of still-lifes plus all the illustrations for his ''concrete poetry''. Sandeman contributed to mixed exhibitions in the UK and US with her principal solo exhibitions being at the Demarco Gallery in Edinburgh and the Hughson Gallery in Glasgow with a final show at the Talbot Rice Gallery in Edinburgh in 2006. Her work is represented in public and private collections in Scotland and in private collections in the US and UK. ''
