About MeA fantastic example of Social Realism, this snapshot into the world of the Cornish Fisherfolk by Edinburgh born painter John Robertson Reid beautifully illustrates this often-overlooked subject of the workers of the time. Slightly muted colour tones from such a distinguished colourist, a friend of 'The Glasgow Boys' and an important and influential Scottish artist.More About Me
