John Duncan Fergusson: A collection of 223 works (HD)
Description: John Duncan Fergusson, lived from 9 March 1874 to 30 January 1961. He was one of the few British artists to participate in the Impressionist revolution in art that took place in Paris in the years before the First World War. He was a key member of the movement known as the Scottish Colourists, and a large collection of his work is on view in the Fergusson Gallery in Perth. The wider picture in Scotland at the time is set out in our Historical Timeline.
Fergusson was born at 7 Crown Street, Leith, and was the oldest of four children. Both his parents were from Pitlochry, and Fergusson always regarded Highland Perthshire as his spiritual home.
After attending the Royal High School, Fergusson went on to study medicine at Edinburgh University as a step towards an ambition of becoming a naval surgeon. He left after only a few months, however, instead enrolling at the Trustees Academy in Edinburgh to train as an artist. Within a few more months he had decided that the approach taken at the Academy was not for him, and he left in order to train himself as an artist.
In the 1890s Fergusson travelled in Spain and Morocco before deciding that France was the place to be. Between 1895 and 1907 he made repeated visits from his home in Edinburgh to France, working alongside many of the key artists of the day. In 1907 he rented a studio in Paris and settled there full time. Outgoing and enthusiastic, Fergusson fitted perfectly into the artistic community that was so active on the Left Bank of the River Seine at the time, meeting and swapping ideas with artists like Picasso, Matisse and Derain. Within a fairly short time, Fergusson had become a fixture on the Paris art scene, and he was a leading member of an active community of expatriate painters living in the city.
In 1913 Fergusson met a 22-year old English dancer, Margaret Morris, who was touring in Paris with her own dance company. The two fell in love and were to become lifelong companions. Later in the year, Fergusson left Paris to settle on the French Mediterranean coast, where Margaret Morris was a regular visitor between managing her own commitments in London. When war erupted in August 1914, Fergusson moved to London to be with Margaret Morris. His only notable work during the war was a series of paintings of the naval dockyard in Portsmouth, commissioned by the Government.
Fergusson produced a series of Scottish landscapes after a visit in 1922, but he spent most of the 1920s in London working with the dancers of Margaret's dance company. During this time he became a friend of Charles Rennie Mackintosh. In 1929 John Duncan Fergusson and Margaret Morris moved to Paris, where once more he fitted perfectly into an active artistic community. Meantime he had become a key member of a group of Scottish painters who were later to become known as the Scottish Colourists.
With the outbreak of another war in 1939, Fergusson once more returned to Britain with Margaret Morris, this time settling in Glasgow. Margaret Morris established the Celtic Ballet, and the two collaborated in the setting up of the New Art Club, which became a focus for artistic development amongst many Scottish painters. They remained in Glasgow after the war, though each year the two would spend time in France where Margaret Morris ran summer dance schools. In 1950 Fergusson was awarded an honourary degree by Glasgow University.
John Duncan Fergusson died in 1961 at the age of 86. He had been one of the last survivors of the era of the Impressionists in Paris in the years before the First World War, and his impact on the development of art in Scotland, and beyond, was dramatic, wide ranging and enduring.
After Fergusson's death, Margaret Morris established the JD Fergusson Art Foundation to look after a large collection of his work. Margaret Morris died in 1980, but the Foundation lived on, with the primary aim of finding a permanent home for the collection. On 6 March 1992 the Fergusson Gallery opened in Perth, housed in a converted waterworks. A major renovation between 2003 and 2005 has ensured that the Fergusson Gallery will continue to make Fergusson's work available to the widest possible audience for the foreseeable future.

Perth is a city in central Scotland, located on the banks of the River Tay. It is the administrative centre of Perth and Kinross council area and the historic county of Perthshire. Perth has been known as The Fair City since the publication of the story Fair Maid of Perth by Scottish writer Sir Walter Scott in 1828. During the later medieval period the city was also called St John's Toun or Saint Johnstoun by its inhabitants in reference to the main church dedicated to St John the Baptist. This name is preserved by the city's football team, St Johnstone F.C.
There has been a settlement at Perth since prehistoric times, on a natural mound raised slightly above the flood plain of the Tay, where the river could be crossed at low tide. The area surrounding the modern city is known to have been occupied since Mesolithic hunter-gatherers arrived more than 8000 years ago. Nearby Neolithic standing stones and circles also exist, dating from about 4000 BC, following the introduction of farming in the area.
The presence of Scone Abbey, home of the Stone of Destiny where the King of Scots was crowned, enhanced the early importance of the city. Perth became known as a 'capital' of Scotland, due to the frequent residence of the royal court. Royal Burgh status was soon given to the city by King William the Lion in the early 12th century. The city became one of the richest burghs in the country, doing trade with France, the Low Countries and Baltic Countries for goods such as Spanish silk and French wine. The Scottish Reformation also played a big role in the city with the sacking of the Houses of the Greyfriars and Blackfriars, after a sermon given by John Knox in St John's Kirk in 1559. The Act of Settlement later brought about Jacobite uprisings. The city was occupied by Jacobite supporters on three occasions (1689, 1715 and 1745). The founding of Perth Academy in 1760 helped to bring major industries, such as linen, leather, bleach and whisky, to the city. Given its location, Perth was perfectly placed to become a key transport centre with the coming of the railways, and its first station was built in 1848.
Today, Perth serves as a retail centre for the surrounding area. Following the decline of the whisky industry locally, the city's economy has now diversified to include insurance and banking. Due to its location, the city is often referred to as the Gateway to the Highlands. The Australian metropolis Perth took its name from the Scottish city. Perth is also twinned with Aschaffenburg in the German state of Bavaria.

約翰·鄧肯·弗格森 John Duncan Fergusson,生於1874年3月9日至1961年1月30日。他是少數參加第一次世界大戰前幾年在巴黎舉辦的印象派藝術革命的藝術家之一。他是被稱為蘇格蘭色彩主義者的運動的關鍵成員,他的作品的大量作品在柏斯的弗格森畫廊展出。我們在歷史時間表中列出了當時蘇格蘭的更廣闊的景象。
弗格森出生於利思Leith 7 Crown Street,是四個孩子中年齡最大的一個。他的父母都來自皮特洛赫里,弗格森一直認為高地佩思郡是他的精神家園。
在參加皇家高中之後,弗格森繼續在愛丁堡大學學習醫學,以期成為成為海軍外科醫生的雄心壯志。他僅僅在幾個月後離開了,而是在愛丁堡的信託學院招收了一名藝術家。再過幾個月,他決定在學院採取的做法不適合他,他離開是為了訓練自己成為一名藝術家。
在19世紀90年代,Fergusson先生在西班牙和摩洛哥旅行,然後才決定要去法國。 1895年至1907年間,他在愛丁堡的家中一再訪問法國,與當時的許多主要藝術家一起工作。 1907年,他在巴黎租了一間工作室,並在那裡全職安頓下來。出色和熱情的Fergusson完美融入當時塞納河左岸如此活躍的藝術界,與畢加索,馬蒂斯和德蘭等藝術家會面並交換意見。在相當短的時間內,Fergusson已經成為巴黎藝術舞台上的一員,他是居住在該城市的外籍畫家活躍社區的主要成員。
在1922年訪問後製作了一系列蘇格蘭風景畫,但他在1920年的大部分時間裡都在倫敦與瑪格麗特舞蹈團的舞者一起工作。在此期間,他成為查爾斯雷尼麥金托什的朋友。 1929年,約翰鄧肯弗格森和瑪格麗特莫里斯搬到了巴黎,在那裡他再次完美融入了一個活躍的藝術社區。與此同時,他已經成為一群蘇格蘭畫家的關鍵成員,後來被稱為蘇格蘭色彩家。
於1961年去世,享年86歲。他曾是第一次世界大戰前巴黎印象派時代的最後倖存者之一,他對蘇格蘭及其他藝術發展的影響,是戲劇性的,廣泛的和持久的。
在弗格森去世後,瑪格麗特莫里斯成立了JD Fergusson藝術基金會來照顧他的大量作品。瑪格麗特莫里斯於1980年去世,但基金會繼續生活,主要目的是找到收藏的永久居所。 1992年3月6日,Fergusson畫廊在珀斯開設,坐落在改建的水廠內。 2003年至2005年期間的一次重大改造確保了Fergusson畫廊在可預見的未來將繼續使Fergusson的作品面向最廣泛的受眾。

Of course I'm disappointed. At the other end of this process is the potential execution of our client and that's a most traumatic and emotional consequence. Everyone's disappointed. He obviously is and his family and the people who have supported him through the legal process are obviously disappointed.

12. SOUNDBITE: (English) Australian High Commissioner, Gary Quinlan:
Just to indicate that the Australian government has always taken a very close and very strong interest in this case, of Mr Nguyen and we will continue to do so. We understand that Mr Nguyen will now proceed to lodge an appeal for presidential clemency and the Australian government will support that appeal. It's not open to me, and it doesn't help anyone and certainly not Mr Nguyen himself, to speculate any further at this stage on the clemency process. There still is a decision-making process to be gone through in Singapore.

STORYLINE:
An Australian man faces the death sentence after his final legal challenge against execution for drug trafficking was dismissed by Singapore's highest court.
Upon hearing the verdict, Nguyen Tuong Van, in handcuffs and wearing a pale orange jumpsuit, slumped back in his chair.
His mother, Kim Nguyen, wept silently in the public gallery as the three-judge panel made a quick exit after the minute-long reading of the verdict.
Nguyen's last chance of avoiding execution rests with Singapore's president S.R. Nathan who can give clemency.
Gary Quinlan, the Australian High Commissioner to Singapore, told reporters after the hearing that Australia's government backed the clemency petition to Singapore's president, being prepared by his legal team.
24-year-old Nguyen, a salesman from Melbourne, was arrested on 12 December 2002 at Changi International Airport in transit between Cambodia and Melbourne, Australia.
During a routine passenger search, officers found Nguyen was carrying two packets of heroin, one taped to his back and a second in his bag.
The tightly-controlled city-state has one of the world's toughest - and most thoroughly enforced - drug laws. Anyone possessing more than 15 grammes (0.53 ounces) of heroin or more than 500 grammes (17.64 ounces) of marijuana is presumed to be trafficking and faces death if found guilty.
Nguyen was arrested smuggling 396.2 grammes (13.87 ounces) and has been on death row in Changi Prison since March.
About 400 people have been hanged in Singapore since 1991.
