History
Alexander Banner was known as a landscape painter in oil and as an art teacher. Much of his work dates from between 1868 and 1890, and he exhibited twice at the Glasgow Institute and once, in 1888, at the Royal Scottish Academy.
Banner was taken on at the Glasgow School of Art as Second Master to the then Head Master, Charles Heath Wilson, but worked mainly under the subsequent Head Master, Robert Greenlees. Banner's duties involved teaching elementary drawing, geometry and perspective and providing discipline and general instruction. He was also responsible for training art teachers in the associated colleges and seminaries in Glasgow.
He taught at GSA from November 1861 until May 1877, when he was asked by the Governors to tender his resignation.
