In Focus | In the Patio: Margaret Morris by J. D. Fergusson

Margaret Morris was the life partner of the ‘Scottish Colourist’ artist J. D. Fergusson. They shared a passion for the human form that is reflected in their art and dance collaborations. They never married but shared an exuberant and colourful life between Britain and the south of France, interrupted by two world wars. This portrait of Morris by Fergusson is reflective of the life they shared, and offers an insight into their modern, ground-breaking artistic partnership.

In this new series devoted to Scottish Art, we look at paintings by some of the nation’s finest artists. We examine them to uncover what makes each work so special and reveal some of the stories behind them.

This series is part of the Scottish National Gallery Project. The project will completely transform the way Scottish art is shown at the Gallery. A new suite of exhibition spaces will be created, which will be directly accessible from the adjoining Princes Street Gardens, and provide a light-filled, new home for the our unrivalled collection of Scottish art, raising its profile for visitors from all over the world.
