Dundee artist James Howie

Dundee artist James Howie

James Howie, a Dundee artist with an international reputation, has died at the age of 79.

Educated at Harris Academy, he studied at the then Dundee Art College and Liverpool College of Art before visiting Paris on a Royal Scottish Academy bursary.

Mr Howie spent two years in Spain and returned to Dundee to lecture at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art from 1962 to 1966.

He was also a former artist-in-residence at the Gardner Centre for the Arts at Sussex University, and at Dudhope Arts Centre in Dundee.

Mr Howie exhibited at the Royal Academy in London and his work has been acquired by a number of public bodies, including the McManus in Dundee, the Glasgow University Art Collection, the Scottish Arts Council and the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art. His paintings also hang in private collections around the world.

He formerly played football and cricket for Harris FPs and was a member of Norwood Cricket Club. Mr Howie also maintained a passion for dancing and was a regular on the dance floor until his final illness.

He had a studio at WASPS in Meadow Mill for 15 years and, said fellow painter Jonathan Hood, acted as mentor for many young artists.

“He was a fantastic painter and he worked very meticulously on his paintings,” he said. “Painters in Dundee learned so much from him not only painting techniques but the whole meaning of the thing. He is a big loss.”

Mr Howie, whose funeral is on Friday, is survived by his wife Joyce and daughters Jacqueline and Selina.
