Georgina Mossman Greenlees (1849–1932) was a Scottish artist known for her landscape painting. [1] She was an advocate for art education and practice for women. [2]
Greenlees was the daughter of Robert Greenlees, headmaster of the Glasgow School of Art from 1863 to 1881. [3] Greenlees married Graham Kinloch Wylie, a landscape painter, in October 1885. [1] Greenlees attended the Glasgow School of Art in the early 1870s. [4] [2] She studied painting, design and drawing and was awarded a national Queen's Prize for a lace curtain design in 1870. [2]
Greenlees often painted Scottish landscapes, and was also known for her depictions of women. [1] Her works are held in public collections including A Little Waif, held by the McManus Gallery in Dundee, and a portrait of James Sellars in the Glasgow Museums collection. [5]
Greenlees exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition in London during 1878 and 1880. [6] She also exhibited at Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts in 1867, when she was eighteen, and later at the Royal Scottish Academy. [2] In 1879, Greenlees was elected to the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour. [7] She exhibited with the society from 1878, and her work was included in the Fourth Exhibition held in 1881. [8] [9]
Greenlees taught at the Glasgow School of Art from 1874 to 1881, when she was one of two women teaching at the school, who both resigned from their positions. [4] [1] Greenlees maintained a professional artistic career while continuing to teach privately, which was in direct opposition to the policies of the Glasgow School of Art. [1] [2]
Greenlees was a founding member and first president of the Glasgow Society of Lady Artists. [4] The society was formed early in 1882 during a meeting at the studio Georgina shared with her father at 136 Wellington Street, Glasgow. [10] [2] The society was the first of its kind to be formed in Scotland and represented the need for women art practitioners to exhibit their work and socialise with other artists. [11]
