斯图尔特·奥尔
幽默水彩画家与插画家
威廉·斯图尔特·奥尔是一位苏格兰水彩画家和书籍插画家。 奥爾出生於格拉斯哥，是當地商人威廉·奧爾的兒子，年輕時在格拉斯哥藝術學院接受教育。 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." 奥尔与玛丽·斯图尔特·道格拉斯结婚，并于1925年当选为皇家水彩画学会会员。1927年，《艺术界名人录》将他描述为"（主要）水彩画家，偶尔从事书籍插图"。 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."
