This is a stunning original pencil-signed lithograph and made by the Scottish artist, John Houston (1930 - 2008). 

Houston was born in Buckhaven in Fife in 1930 and trained at Edinburgh College of Art. He then taught at the College from 1948 until 1954 and held the post of Deputy Head of the School of Drawing and Painting from 1955 until 1989.

In 1957 he helped start the 57 Gallery in Edinburgh, exhibiting there with his first solo show in 1958. He was later honoured with a major retrospective celebrating his life and work at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art in 2005.

He was married to the celebrated Scottish artist Elizabeth Blackadder (1931 - 2021). 

This expressionistic print by John Houston is typical of his late style. It is a night scene - showing a distant view of the Bass Rock, East Lothian. It is a stormy night and the sky and turbulent sea are depicted in dark blue-grey and black hues. The Rock can just be seen in the distance on the horizon and lit up by a lightning flash. Houston's expressionist style is certainly well suited to capturing the ferocity of this wild Scottish storm.

It is signed and inscribed with the title and numbered 36 / 100 in pencil to lower margin,

The image size is 26 x 38 cm. The frame size is 40 x 50.5 cm.

My print is in excellent condition and has a fresh ivory-white window mount and simple black frame (as photographed) - ready to hang straight on your wall.
