Archibald Kay (British, 1860 to 1935)
Kay studied at the Glasgow School of Art with Robert Greenlees (English, 1820 to 1894) and in Paris with Gustave Boulanger (French, 1824 to 1888), Jules-Joseph Lefebvre (French, 1836-1911), and Benjamin Constant (French, 1845 to 1902). He taught art at various schools across Glasgow. Even though Kay spent most of his life in the city, he was almost exclusively a landscapist, preferring to sketch and paint directly from nature. He exhibited in Glasgow, Munich, Berlin, Dresden, Paris, Venice, and at the Royal Academy. He was a member of the Royal Scottish Water Colour Society and in 1905 he was elected president of the Glasgow Art Club.
