John bellany paintings

He is best known for documenting the lives of the fishing communities of the east coast of Scotland. He met Alexander Moffat there, and together they mounted student exhibitions and travelled in Germany.

John Bellany was an influential Scottish painter.

Along with Scottish poets including Hugh MacDiarmid and Alan Bold, these youthful idealists sought to produce figurative painting and expressive prose that portrayed a modern Scotland whilst embracing its national heritage. The influence of Bellany's upbringing in a close-knit and religious fishing community is clear in his earlier student works, but continues to play a valid part in later works.
