Charles Hodge Mackie RSA, RSW (1862-1920)<br />
<strong>The</strong> Bassano Bridge, Italy coloured woodcut 51 x 52 cms<br />
Mackie is a <strong>Scottish</strong> artist who does not readily fit into a box. <strong>The</strong> influence <strong>of</strong> first Andrew Geddes and<br />
the Symbolism <strong>of</strong> <strong>The</strong> Evergreen and then the Pont Aven school (he met Gauguin and became a friend <strong>of</strong><br />
Serusier) led to a series <strong>of</strong> woodblock prints without parallel in British art.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Bassano Bridge, now demolished, is perhaps the best known and one <strong>of</strong> several made in Italy,<br />
including two Venetian subjects. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Scottish</strong> <strong>Gallery</strong> reassembled all thirteen prints for an exhibition<br />
in 1987.<br />
