Emil Otto Hoppé (1878-1972) was one of the most important art and documentary photographers of the modern era whose artistic success rivaled those of his peers, Alfred Stieglitz (1864-1946), Edward Steichen (1879-1973) and Walker Evans (1903-1975). Hoppé was one of the most renowned portrait photographers of his day, as well as a brilliant landscape and travel photographer. His strikingly modernist portraits describe a virtual Who’s Who of important personalities in the arts, literature, and politics in Great Britain and the US between the wars. Among the hundreds of well-known figures he photographed were George Bernard Shaw, H.G. Wells, A.A. Milne, T.S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, G.K. Chesterton, Leon Bakst, Vaslav Nijinsky and the dancers of the Ballets Russes, and Queen Mary, King George, and other members of the Royal Family. Beginning art photography in 1903 Hoppé was admitted as a member of the Royal Photographic Society where, over the next four years, he regularly exhibited his amateur photographic works. In this same year Hoppé was also associated with The Linked Ring Brotherhood and fellow members Alvin Langdon Coburn, Henry Peach Robinson (1830-1901), and George Davidson (1854-1930), who played an important role in international art photography, maintaining close ties with continental and American groups including the Vienna Camera Club and the Photo Secession, New York.

William Bartlet Hossack was born in Airdre on 3rd February 1889, one of 3 surviving sons to Catherine (née MacLeod) and William Bartlet Hossack senior. William Bartlet Hossack senior was born in Banff, Scotland to William Hossack, a draper and clothier and Mary (née Bartlet), daughter of the owner of Banff brewery. William Bartlet Hossack senior later moved to Aidrie where he became a successful engineer with his firm Inglis, Hossack and Company, and where he brought up his own family including his son William. William commenced his studies at The Glasgow School of Art as an evening student in 1905 studying drawing and painting while working as an architectural draughtsman. He continued with evening classes between1907-09 but transferred his studies to architecture. During WW1, William served with the Royal Engineers, initially in Egypt, with the 1st/2nd Field Company. Although recorded as Lieutenant on the Roll of Honour, his medal card for the 1914-15 Star lists him as 2nd Lieutenant but his card for the British War Medal and Victory Medal records him as Captain. William married a South African, Mona Leonie van Ryneveld, who had been married previously to Francois Jan Jacobsz and who married again after William's death. They had one son William Antony Hossack and William was step father to Mona's son, Jan Francois Jacobsz. Mona died in 1989 but it is not known when or where William died. It is possible though that he met his wife while serving in South Africa and that he made his home there after the war. William Bartlet Hossack is commemorated on The Glasgow School of Art's First World War Roll of Honour.

James Houston was born 22nd June 1893. He was the youngest son of James Houston JP and the younger brother of the landscape painter Robert Houston (1891-1942) and a relative of George Houston (1869-1847) both of whom studied at The Glasgow School of Art. James Houston attended The Glasgow School of Art. James Houston was educated at Spiers School, Beith and was an apprentice architect with Fryers & Penman of Largs from 1909 – 1913. Houston then attended The Glasgow School of Art from 1913-1917 after completing his apprenticeship, studying under Professor Eugene Bourdon and Professor Charles Gourlay. Houston excelled as a student at The Glasgow School of Art winning many awards, scholarships and bronze, silver and gold medals for each year of his attendance. Houston was presented with his senior course certificate in October 1917 and received his diploma from the school in 1921. Houston also assisted Professor Charles Gourlay towards the completion of his studies in the illustration of his book, 'The Italian Order of Architecture, 'a practical book for the use of architects and craftsmen, consisting of letterpress, with thirty-two plates based on the orders of Vignola, Palladio, Gibbs, Chambers, and other masters' (1916).
Following his studies at The Glasgow School of Art, James Houston undertook three year in The Royal Navy from 1916 -1919.
In 1919, Houston, arranged by his previous Professor Charles Gourlay, took up the position of chief assistant and lecturer at The Royal Technical college. Houston began his own practice in 1920 in Kilbirnie and early in the same year was admitted ARIBA under the war exemption scheme with his proposers being Thomas Lennox Watson, Alexander Nisbet Paterson and John Watson. In the early years of Houston's practice, he was assisted by Hugh Macdonald who remained in the firm for two decades and Gavin Mclure who was killed in WW2. The firm was well known for their modernist cinema and entertainment building design.
Some of Houston's best known works include the Radio City Cinema which opened in 1937, an example of 'theme' architecture, a genre associated with thirties cinemas. The cinema was built for and operated by Bridgend Picture House Ltd. The cinema was taken over by George Palmer circuit and was renamed George Cinema in 1959 but closed in the late 60s. The cinema was then converted into a bingo club, named George Bingo Club which operated until 1995. Houston's building was then left empty until it was restored and re-opened as a community centre and gym. On 19th April 2000, Historic Scotland designated the Radio City Cinema a Grade C(s) Listed building. Radio City Cinema is also Houston's last surviving cinema building.
During WW2, Houston reenlisted now with the royal Engineers, being commissioned with the role of Captain. At the end of the war, Houston remained the sole partner of the firm until his son John B G Houston joined the partnership. At some point the partnership moved to 2 School Wynd Kilbirnie.
As well as his architectural practice, Houston also exhibited painting at the Royal Scottish Academy on two occasions. The first in 1938 whilst living at the address Whitehurst Kilbirnie Ayrshire and a second time in 1961 now living at 22 School Wynd Kilbirnie Ayrshire.
Houston died on 6th September 1966 at the age of 73. His son John continued the practice from 1976 with William Macdonald Dunlop.

After leaving Glasgow School of Art where she qualified as a textile designer, Eirene worked for the United Africa Company as a studio designer. Marrying a Naval Officer meant a change in her life and she travelled the world with her husband and two sons, tackling any art oriented job that came her way from teaching to painting scenery for the stage. Two years in the United States of America gave her the opportunity and time to start her career in animal painting, a subject always close to her heart. She not only exhibited in the United States but also gained recognition as an animal painter working on commission. After returning to Britain she developed her own particular style of oil painting in which the animals appear in a natural setting - gun dogs working in shooting country or portraits of champion bulls on their owners' farms. The animals she has painted include many champions from both sides of the Atlantic - cattle, horses, sheep and dogs; but many are well loved pets or ponies who have no claim to fame.

Hunter also won numerous advertising commissions from clients including department stores like McDonald's, Frasers and Watt Brothers, furriers like Whitneys and Morrisons and ladies outfitters including Pettigrew's and Daily's, sketching wedding dresses and lingerie for posters and brochures. She was perhaps best known for her Garcia Girl page, which was the brainchild of then-Daily Record editor Alistair Dunnet. She would go out to functions on a Friday night and then draw the best frock of the night and write her copy over the course of the weekend. Women would buy the paper on a Monday to see who had been chosen as that week's Garcia Girl. She said that the last drawing she did before the deadline came out the best, as the deadline gave her an edge. It was unusual for a woman to do what she did at that time. She continued working into her 80s, and died in 1990.

Tom Hutcheson RGI, was an artist and teacher born on the 13th of November 1922. He enrolled at The Glasgow School of Art for session 1941-42, and then volunteered for the RAF. He returned after the war to continue his studies from 1946-49, and graduated in drawing and painting. Among his tutors were Hugh Adam Crawford, David Donaldson, and Geoffrey Squire. Douglas Percy Bliss was then director.
Tom taught very successfully in Glasgow junior secondary schools pioneering, along with Danny Ferguson and others, the new art teachers' philosophy, which fostered creativity and imagination. In 1977, he was appointed principal of art education at Jordanhill College, thus carrying on the work of Sam Black.
From the outset, he was a dedicated painter, exhibiting publicly from 1949 onwards. His subject matter was invariably drawn from the landscape of the West of Scotland, with occasional forays to Skye or Spain. His love of the mining areas of Ayrshire and Lanarkshire furnished him with a steady stream of subjects which, as he matured as a painter, became more concerned with colour and texture, and less with topographical detail.
In 1949 it was "Tanyard in Cumnock". In 1989 it was "Earthscape in Mottled Green and Muted Reds". He acknowledged this himself, stating: "Colour is, for me, the most important element in painting. But it should never be used solely in a decorative, anecdotal or descriptive manner. It is the element for expressing emotion and feelings."
His work is in many public and private collections at home and abroad, including those of the Queen, arts councils, and the art galleries of Kelvingrove, Detroit, and Puerto Rico. He was a regular exhibitor at the Royal Glasgow Institute, Royal Scottish Academy and Society of Scottish Artists, and was a longtime member of the Glasgow Art Club. Another Glasgow connection was with the Glasgow Group of Artists, whose annual exhibitions in June at the McLellan Galleries were, for many years, a regular feature of the art scene.
Tom died suddenly on the 1st of November 1999 while collecting work at the close of this year's RGI exhibition – in sight of the Glasgow School of Art, where it all began over 50 years ago.

Sir William Oliphant Hutchison was born in Kirkcaldy 2 July 1889, and was educated at Kirkcaldy High School, Cargilfield, and later at Rugby School. He entered Edinburgh College of Art in 1909 where he studied until 1912, leaving to form the Edinburgh Group with Eric Robertson, A.R. Sturrock, G. Spence Smith, and D.M. Sutherland (later Principal of Gray's School of Art, Aberdeen). He studied in Paris, and worked primarily as a portrait painter although he also exhibited landscape and figure paintings. Hutchison served in the Royal Garrison Artillery during the First World War, in Malta and in France, where he was severely wounded. Shortly after his demobilization, late in 1918, he and his wife took a studio flat in York Place in Edinburgh. They remained there only until 1921, when they moved to London.
Hutchison practised as a portrait painter and had some measure of success. He exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy, joined the Savage Club, and had a wide circle of friends, mainly connected with the arts. He was appointed Director of Glasgow School of Art in 1933 and guided the School through the pre-war years, overseeing connections between the School and the Empire Exhibition of 1938 and the first four years of World War II. Although he had had no teaching experience, he made an excellent director. He painted very much in the academic tradition but was always ready to help and encourage students and young artists who aspired to the avant-garde. He maintained a keen interest in all staff and students, and those serving in the armed forces were sent cards and presents from the School.
Hutchison was a member of the Glasgow Art Club, the Royal Scottish Academy, the Royal Academy and the Royal Society of Portrait Painters. He retired from Glasgow School of Art in 1943 to continue with portrait painting in Edinburgh and London. In 1964 he held an exhibition of his work in London. Hutchison was a retiring and modest man but he had a good speaking voice and was in demand as a public speaker. He was also a great raconteur and his reminiscences of his early days in London were a never failing source of pleasure and amusement to his family and friends. He died suddenly at his home in London in February 1970.

Originally from New Jersey, she went on to complete an undergraduate degree at The University of Scranton, graduating magna cum laude (‘with great distinction’) with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology in 2018. During this time, she completed independent research in cellular biology, investigating the differential effects of neurotransmitter exposure on nerve cell differentiation. She also undertook research in the field of developmental neuroscience, performing whole embryo staining and confocal microscopy of the neural crest. In 2020, she completed a non-credit four-course specialisation in Human Anatomy from The University of Michigan. In 2021, Sarah completed a Master of Science degree in Medical Visualisation & Human Anatomy offered jointly by the University of Glasgow and the Glasgow School of Art. She finished with a first-class honours degree and was awarded the Chairman’s Award as the top postgraduate student from the School of Simulation & Visualisation. During the degree, she explored visualisation techniques such as interaction design, 3D modeling & animation, and volumetric visualisation. Rigorous anatomy training was gained during the second semester of this degree. For her Master’s dissertation project, she explored how visualising SARS-CoV-2 spike protein mutations can facilitate the understanding of Variants of Concern in the general public.

David M Inglis (born 17 August 1894) was an evening student of Architecture at The Glasgow School of Art from 1911-1914, studying under Professor Eugene Bourdon and Professor McGibbon. He returned to his studies from 1919-1923, progressing from Architectural Assistant to Architectural Draughtsman. For the duration of his studies his address is given as Cambridge Street, Glasgow.
He was absent for a year before re-registering in 1915 but appears to have left his studies at some point during this session because in October 1915 he signed up to fight with the Royal Engineers, serving as Acting 2nd Corporal. He was awarded a British War Medal and a Victory Medal for his service. A David M M Inglis is listed as exhibiting at the Royal Scottish Academy in 1948, however it is not clear if this is the same person. Inglis is listed in the School's World War One Roll of Honour.
