Note: A wonderful association copy of this important study of MacDiarmid. William Johnstone studied at Edinburgh College of Art. He went on to the Royal Scottish Academy Schools, winning the Carnegie travelling scholarship in 1925. Johnston was at the forefront of the British art world throughout the twentieth century. He became one of the first British artists to break with representation and paint purely abstract pictures. As well as being a highly original painter, he was an influential spokesman for art education and a friend of Hugh MacDiarmid. Johnstone spent the last two decades of his life painting large abstract works. Johnstone has works in National Gallery, Edinburgh, Edinburgh University Collection, Edinburgh, English National Gallery, London; Victoria and Albert Museum, London, etc.…
