XXIII illus. Literature: Derek Hudson, James Pryde, Constable and Company Ltd., London, 1949, p. 97 This dramatic and imposing work was ultimately a result of the terrifying war years during which it was painted. 'The House' was completed in 1917, commissioned by the Red Cross. Flashes of red material are seen cascading down the facade of the house owing to the 'Red Cross' and possibly the representation of blood shed during the war years. James Pryde was born in Edinburgh in 1866. From a young age Pryde was influenced by the Glasgow School of painters looking towards artists such as James Guthrie for inspiration. After school Pryde went onto study Fine Art at the Royal Scottish Academy and felt deeply connected to Scotland throughout his life. It was his later works which were particularly influenced by Edinburgh in particular. It was the architecture, history and spirit of the city which fascinated him. Pryde became renowned for his architectural capriccios and depictions of ruins which weaved together elements of fantasy and reality to create whimsical compositions that challenged the concept of architectural representation. His compositions combined elements from different architectural styles, blending historical references and dreamlike interpretations, pushing the viewer to become immersed by the landscape and step inside the architectural form. Whilst pursuing his career as an artist Pryde worked as a part time actor. He became close friends with Sir Henry Irving and designer Edward Gordon Craig. In 1930, Pryde was commissioned to design the set of Paul Robeson's Othello. It is clear to see the mixture of influences in the present lot combining architecture, set design and sheer imagination.
