EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable sketchbook that holds within its pages a treasure trove of creativity and artistic expression. With its dimensions measuring 20.3x12.7 cm, this sketchbook is an intimate window into the world of John Duncan (1866-1945), a renowned British artist. The front cover bears the number 13, hinting at the countless hours spent by Duncan pouring his imagination onto these pages. Inside, one can discover 60 sketches and illustrations that offer glimpses into various subjects and themes explored by the artist. What sets this sketchbook apart are the writings on tempera paint and discussions surrounding influential artists like Botticelli. It becomes evident that Duncan not only used this book as a visual diary but also as a platform for intellectual exchange and exploration of different artistic techniques. Handwritten notes, conversations, and even meetings find their place alongside pencil drawings in this extraordinary compilation. Each page tells a story of artistic growth, experimentation, and dedication to craft. Acquired in 1981 with support from the National Fund for Acquisitions, this precious artifact now resides in The McManus museum in Dundee, UK. Its presence there allows art enthusiasts to delve deep into Scottish art history while admiring Duncan's exceptional talent. Through this print captured by Bridgeman Images, we are granted access to witness firsthand how an artist's mind comes alive through sketches - forever preserving moments of inspiration on paper for generations to come.
