1963 GSA Graduate Modernist Oil on Board - John Byrne? - A mid-20th-century modernist landscape painting executed in heavy impasto oil on hardboard - NO RESERVE. Possibly by the celbrated Artist John Byrne who graduated GSA in 1963 and lived in Tain for many years. The work depicts a rural farmyard scene featuring a red-roofed barn, various timber outbuildings, and several skeletal, leafless trees. The composition is rendered with significant physical texture, likely applied with a palette knife, creating a rugged and expressive surface across the foreground and sky. The painting is dated 1963 in red paint at the lower-left corner. The artist signature has been painted over and date 1963 attached.
