David Martin RSW RGI (1922-2018)

Growing up in Govan, David entered Glasgow School of Art in 1940. His education was interrupted by service in the RAF and after the war returned to Glasgow where he was tutored by David Donaldson. Regarded by many as one of the finest still life and landscape painters working in Scotland in his day today, David Martin's work is held in many major collections including The Arts Council of Scotland, The City of Edinburgh Art Collection, Perth Museum and Art Gallery, The Fleming Collection, Linklaters, Lord MacFarlane, The Earl of Moray, Credit Lyonnais Bank, Warburg Asset Management and the Clydesdale Bank. A major retrospective of his work was held at Perth Museum and Art Gallery in 1999.
