The Artist’s Sister

From the mid-1940s to the early 1950s Colquhoun was considered one of the leading artists of his generation. Along with that of MacBryde, another artist and Colquhoun’s partner, his work was regularly shown at the Lefevre Gallery in London. Known as the ‘Two Roberts’, Colquhoun and MacBryde met at the Glasgow School of Art in 1932 and lived together until Colquhoun’s death in 1962. An exhibition of their work and life together was held at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art in 2015.
