Rae, Barbara, 1943 (b.) (Artist)‎, McNicol, Ian (Collaborating Master Printmaker)‎, Gow, Alistair (Collaborating Printer)‎

A abstract landscape in dark purple, brown and blue hues. The composition is anchored by a green gate against a field of pink. The carborundum technique lends a grainy, painterly quality to the print. Rae studied painting at the Edinburgh College of Art from 1961 to 1965. As a student, she worked as a grouse-beater in the Scottish Highlands. "I loved being up there walking the hills, seeing the landscape, drawing it," Rae said in a 2013 interview. "Geography was really important to me and it still plays a huge role in my art."After graduating, Rae received a travel scholarship that allowed her to spend time painting in France and Spain. That experience and her later travel shaped her art, which largely focuses on landscapes. Rae's work is held by institutions including the University of Edinburgh, University of Glasgow, British Museum, National Museum of Women in the Arts, and Whitworth Art Gallery.
