W Y Macgregor (1855-1923): 'Pretty Corner Cromer',
W y Macgregor Biography
(b finnart, dunbartonshire [now strathclyde], 14 oct 1855; d bridge of allan, stirlingshire [now central], 28 sept 1923). scottish painter. he trained as a pupil of james docharty (1829–78) and then at the slade school of fine art in london under alphonse legros. this informal training, his slight superiority in age and his financial independence made him a natural leader for the younger painters of the glasgow boys. his studio at 134 bath street, glasgow, became a meeting place for james guthrie, john lavery, e. a. walton, george henry, joseph crawhall and others of the group. here they shared models and materials and discussed the new ideas of the young french painter jules bastien-lepage, whose naturalist painting attracted them.
