Item description from seller

2013. xxiii, 182pp. The book is in excellent condition. There are no inscriptions and all contents are tight and clean. "James Cadenhead, RSA was a Scottish landscape and portrait painter. He was born in Aberdeen on January 12th, 1858, the only son of the procurator-fiscal, and received his early training in art in that city, showing an aptitude for black and white drawing, etching and portraiture. He was encouraged in his art endeavours by Dr John Forbes White who aroused his interest in the old masters, and artists of the French Barbizon and modern Dutch schools. He went on to the Royal Scottish Academy schools in Edinburgh and then to Paris to study at the atelier of Carolus Duran. He returned to Aberdeen in 1884, moving to Edinburgh in 1891. In 1893, he was elected a member of the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour, and in 1902 was made an Associate of the Royal Scottish Academy. He became Chairman of the Society of Scottish Artists, and was one of the original committee of the Scottish Modern Arts Association. He exhibited regularly at the Royal Scottish Academy and Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts, and was elected a Scottish Royal Academician in 1921. He died in Edinburgh in 1927. In these letters, James gives a vivid and lively account of his life as a young artist training in Edinburgh and Paris in the late nineteenth century. They are full of joie de vivre, with an artist's eye for detail, and with some amusing sketches.".…
