Footnote
Celebrated for her jewel-toned still lifes and sensitive landscapes, Mary Armour's work is instantly recognisable. Her mature style developed during a tenure teaching still life painting at Glasgow School of Art between 1951-61, where she was exposed to modern European artistic ideas. This inspired her subsequent work profoundly. From the 1930s Armour exhibited at the Royal Academy, Royal Scottish Academy, Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour, Scottish Society of Artists, and Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts.
