Joseph Crawhall
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joseph Crawhall (1861– 24 May 1913[1]) was an English artist born in Morpeth , Northumberland. He was the fourth child and second son of Joseph Crawhall II and Margaret Boyd. Crawhall specialised in painting animals and birds.
In the 1880s and 1890s, his work became associated with the Glasgow Boys. He was strongly influenced by the Impressionists, and, like them, his work was rejected by the Establishment, in his case in the form of the Royal Scottish Academy.
In the 1880s he travelled throughout Morocco and Spain, abandoning oil painting and moving to watercolours with a lighter palette. Many of his works are viewable in the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum and in the Burrell Collection.
