Andrew McCallum Art

Scottish, 1821-1902

Andrew McCallum was born in Nottingham but hailed from the Scottish Highland. He was the son of an employee at the William Gibson Sons Ltd. in Nottingham. An interest in drawing was encouraged by Thomas Bailey, who allowed him to copy pictures in his collection. On his 21st birthday, McCallum left home and maintained himself by teaching. Aged 22, he became a student in the recently founded Nottingham School of Art. He exhibited at the British Institution in 1849. About this time, he became a student at the Government School of Design at Somerset House. In 1850, McCallum first exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts. From that year till 1852, he was an assistant master at the Manchester School of Art. In 1854, McCallum went to Italy with a traveling studentship. Part of his time was spent on mural decorations; returning to England in 1857, he decorated the western exterior of the Sheepshanks Gallery at the South Kensington Museum with panels. McCallum then concentrated on landscape, with subjects at Burnham Beeches and Windsor Forest. Towards the end of 1861, McCallum painted at Fontainbleau. In 1864, he worked in Switzerland and on the River Rhine; in 1866, he was in Italy; in the winter of 1866–67, he was in the neighborhood of Paris. Between 1870–75, he paid several visits to Egypt. About 1875, he was commissioned by Queen Victoria to paint five views near Balmoral. He sometimes lectured on art subjects. McCallum died on 22 January 1902 at 5 The Studios, Holland Park Road, London and had lived in the neighborhood.

This is a Real Place! 1: large painting of lake or river w/ blue water bridge
By Brooke Lanier
Located in Bryn Mawr, PA
"In the series “This is a real place!” I was fascinated by how the underside of the pier at Saint Simons Island, GA was like a readymade collage. The way the pilings and rails divide and frame the spaces between them looks artificially imposed on the scene until you notice the way the waves bounce off the pilings and the railings cast shadows on the water. In some iterations, I chose to simplify the structures of the pier and lighten the values so that it would emphasize the detail in the water. Likewise, I omitted a family of starlings and their droppings in favor of highlighting the geometry of the architecture and the colors and patterns of the water. Making paintings in a series allows me to investigate the results of making different decisions about an image. How I crop or stylize it, the manner in which I apply the paint, what gets included or excluded all add shades of meaning to each piece. Additionally, depictions of the same subject in different weather, seasons, times of day, and tides allows me a deeper understanding. I notice more relationships, colors, and details every time I paint the subject. Every painting is a pile of decisions. Playing with removing more and more details to see what is truly important sometimes improves the painting. The fewer elements you include in an image, the more each one means, and the more important it is to get each thing perfect. At times I like to paint every single detail I can find in a scene, and other times I feel like the unadorned components are sufficient to hold each other in a satisfying composition. I often add simplified shapes to my paintings to highlight the presence of absence or to heighten the importance of each area by creating stark visual contrasts. ⁠The physicality of the paint also plays a role. I used highly textured, thickly applied paint to construct the solid structural elements, and luminous layers of thinly glazed paint for the delicate linework and subtle blending of the water." - Brooke Lanier...
