William Young RSW (1845 – 1916)
William Young was a notable Glasgow artist. After leaving Glasgow High School, he worked in a variety of clerical jobs until 1877. By the 1880s he had established himself as a well-known and popular local artist. He was the first secretary of the Glasgow Art Club and an accomplished musician. He was sometimes referred to as 'Cheery Willie' because of his sunny nature.
Cheery Willie was elected R.S.W. (Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour) in 1880 and who showed 101 works at the Glasgow Institute, 34 at the Royal Scottish Academy, 4 at the Royal Academy and 88 at the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolours.
A landscape painter, mainly in watercolour but also in oils. Young painted for many years as an amateur but began to pant professionally in 1878. He particularly enjoyed portraying the west coast and Arran in a detailed and mannerly, slightly melancholic style. He was a local historian and an authority on early art and archaeology.
Glasgow Art Club
The Glasgow Art Club, was founded in 1867 by William Dennistoun, a young amateur artist who had been forced by ill health to leave the city. On Saturdays his friends went to see him at his cottage in rural Old Kilpatrick to draw and paint together. Dennistoun proposed that they should form an art club. He and 10 others, all amateur artists, held preliminary discussions in a tearoom above a Candleriggs baker's shop before launching the club in the Waverley Temperance Hotel in Buchanan Street.
At their monthly meetings each member would bring a painting, usually a watercolour, and the others would comment. At times there could be fiery disputes.
Membership grew in the 1870s, professional artists began to join, and exhibitions were held. Not surprisingly, the limitations of a temperance hotel began to be felt and in 1875 the club moved to a Sauchiehall Street hotel, also called Waverley, where something stronger than tea was to be had and annual dinners could be held in suitable style.
