William Crozier (Scottish artist)

Assisted by a Carnegie travelling scholarship, together with Geissler and Gillies, Crozier studied under the cubist painter André Lhote in Paris in 1923.

[1] In 1924 the three talented young painters pursued their journey to Italy, where Crozier was particularly taken by the bright sunlight and resultant deep shadows, a quality which he later sought to capture in his work.

The buildings are represented as simple geometric blocks with intense contrast between the sunlit facades and heavily shaded sides.

[4] An exhibition of his work was given at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art in Edinburgh in 1995.
