History
Richard Black Brown (born 20/12/1900) attended the Glasgow School of Art between 1916 and 1922. He attended firstly evening classes in Design, Modelling, and Drawing and Painting, and then progressed to Day classes in Drawing and painting in his last two years. During his time at the School, his profession also progressed from Poster and Ticket Writer to Advertising and Poster Designer. Richard's early career at the GSA seems to have been incredibly successful. In 1917-18, he won a Silver Medal for Drawing and Painting, and the Prize for Painting from Life in Tempura. He also won the Haldane Trust Scholarship of £2 for Drawing and Painting in the same year. Between 1918 and 1919, he won a second Haldane Trust Scholarship for Drawing and Painting. Richard lived in Rutherglen.
