'Margaret Morris, Summer, 1914,' depicts J D Fergusson's wife who he first met in Paris in 1913. She was a pioneer of the modern dance style made popular by Isadora Duncan, and was the inspiration for numerous portraits which give an insight into all aspects of her career.

Continuity with the past was maintained by JD Fergusson through occasional paintings made from memory. This work of the mid-1930s nostalgically recalls the summer he spent with Margaret Morris in Cap d’Antibes in the south of France.

'Lady with Parasol.' (1900) Inspired by the artist Arthur Melville, JD Fergusson once said: 'Although I never met him or saw him, his paintings gave me my first start: his work opened up to me the road of freedom not merely in the use of paint, but freedom of outlook.'
After #WW1 JD Fergusson concentrated almost exclusively on studies of flowers & fruit in which background plays an increasingly insignificant role. Here the flowers take on a life of their own.

John Duncan Fergusson's drawing of
'Margaret Morris in a hammock at la Petite Farandole, Antibes,' (1914) is a typically beautiful piece of draughtsmanship done out of instinct and overriding interest in form, character and the joy of life.

John Duncan Fergusson immediately sprung to mind with his stylish portrait of a lady wearing a beautiful floral crown titled 'Spring, Botanic Gardens' from the collection of Perth & Kinross Council. 🌺
We note with sorrow the death of Sir Charles Fergusson of Kilkerran, 9th Baronet, Chief of the Name of Fergusson. May he rest in peace.
