The son of a general merchant, Cursiter (1887 - 1976) was employed by a printers and lithographers in Edinburgh, where he learned the elements of design and print-making, at the same time as completing his studies at Edinburgh College of Art. In 1913 he was the only Scottish painter to embrace Futurism, and was responsible for bringing the first Futurist exhibition to Scotland through his connection with the Society of Scottish Artists. Inspired by the technique, he produced seven Futurist canvases that year, which are still among his most discussed works. This work depicts Phyllis Cursiter, seated by a mirror, watching a woman at a piano. [Christie’s, London - Oil on canvas, 41 x 46 cm]
