a EST EIGHTH STREET- NEW YORK 
 
FOREWORD 
 
 which makes his introduction to America a rather 
 
 simple matter. There is no telling how it would be 
 accomplished with Fergusson around. He is one of those 
 dour, wind-bitten Scots—at least three parts granite. As 
 well shake hands with Ben Lomond. | 
 
 Such as Fergusson despise the gab and grimaces so necess- 
 ary to further acquaintance. I’m sure that he is glowering 
 at these restrained remarks of mine. For he is as blunt and 
 straightforward as his work, and the only person who can 
 tell him anything is a man named Fergusson. 
 
 A famous London critic once said of him: “I know of no 
 living painter with a more profound feeling for the music 
 that is in color. The joy of life and the joy of stating it is 
 everywhere in his work.” Yet Fergusson’s work represents 
 a vety high boiling point. He is not the one to faint at every 
 sunset. But when he does respond it is thrilling. 
 
 This is his first comprehensive American showing. Char- 
 acteristically, it has been a long time getting here. Fergusson 
 is around fifty-two years old and his exhibitions in Paris, 
 London andGlasgow have been important events fora long 
 while now. His recognition is fairly ancient. 
 
 Biography seems essential to an introduction. Fergusson 
 was born and educated in Edinburgh. Parenthetically, he 
 matriculated as a medical student. After two years of med- 
 icine he went to Paris to study art in the studios of Colarossi 
 and Julian. There he painted, with occasional visits to Spain 
 and Morocco, until 1914, when he turned again home. 
 
 Thete is great talk of integrity nowadays. Here it is.
