ユーモアある水彩画家

ウィリアム・スチュワート・オールは、スコットランドの水彩画家および書籍挿絵画家でした。 グラスゴー生まれで、現地の商人ウィリアム・オールの息子である若いオールは、グラスゴー美術学校で教育を受けた。 In 1907, The Studio reviewed his work and commented "Stewart Orr, one of the younger men, is an artist with that rare quality, a sense of humour. This characteristic will be applicable in the role of book illustrator, in which the artist is actively engaged at the present time." オーアはメアリー・スチュアート・ダグラスと結婚し、1925年にロイヤル・ウォーターカラー・ソサエティの会員に選出された。1927年、『フーズ・フー・イン・アート』は彼を「（主に）水彩画家、時々書籍挿絵画家」と記した。 As an illustrator of children's books, Orr has been compared with his contemporary Harry B. Neilson. In a book on Arthur Rackham, Fred Gettings says "Along with Neilson, we may list Stewart Orr and Harry Rowntree... Neilson, and indeed a whole host of Victorian draughtsmen who told animal moralities and fairy stories, portray their animals in clothing... However, the important point is that, for all their human clothing, for all that they speak where necessary with human tongues, and point their morals with something verging on human gesture, these creatures always look like animals."
