History
Alex Munro Neville (born 21st December 1899) attended The Glasgow School of Art between 1917 and 1922, where he studied drawing and painting initially in the evenings, and during the day from 1919. Residing at Craignethan Gardens in Partick during his time at the School, apart from the 1919-1920 session where his address was listed as MacLean Street, Partick, Alex was an apprentice draughtsman. He was a recipient of the amount of £2 in both the 1917-1918 and 1918-1919 school years through the Haldane Trust bursary. Achieving his diploma in 1922, he qualified as an art teacher in the 1922-1923 year.
He is noted as being a watercolour painter who was most active between 1923 and 1968 and exhibited at The Royal Scottish Academy (RSA), The Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour (RSW) and The Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts (GI). His work includes "Amsterdam" (1937) and "The Gareloch" (1944). Alex lived at two different addresses in Crawford Drive, Drumchapel during this time and in later life moved to Barassie, Ayrshire.
