At the time of his death in 1948, the Dundee-born painter David Foggie was hailed as “one of the great personalities of our time”. It was said that his name “is known in every part of Scotland where Art is in question.” In the years since then, however, that name has been all too often forgotten. This online exhibition explores his life and work.
