喬治·休斯頓
蘇格蘭阿蓋爾與艾爾郡風景畫家
喬治·休斯頓是一位蘇格蘭藝術家。他是一位多產的風景畫家,使用油畫和水彩兩種媒介。他主要描繪阿蓋爾和艾爾郡的景色。 Houston was born in Dalry, North Ayrshire. In the 1880s he stayed at North Bank Cottage in Portencross, where he formed a long-lasting friendship with the noted Scottish author Neil Munro (Para Handy). In 1912 Neil Munro wrote a book entitled "Ayrshire Idylls", and this was illustrated by George Houston. It is possible that Houston and his family moved to the nearby town of Saltcoats before moving back to Dalry. Thereafter he lived at West Lynn until his death on 5 October 1947. 《艾爾郡風景》於1904年被格拉斯哥公司購買,現仍藏於格拉斯哥博物館館藏中。休斯頓是作家尼爾·蒙羅的朋友,並為蒙羅的著作《艾爾郡田園詩》(A&C Black,1912年)繪製插圖。蒙羅還為《伯恩斯之鄉》撰寫了評論,該書收錄了休斯頓創作的12幅蝕刻畫,於1915年出版。這些蝕刻畫現由北艾爾郡議會博物館服務處收藏。 休士頓於1889年與安妮·克爾·克勞福德結婚,夫婦二人共育有十名子女。
