History
Alexander S. Robertson was born in 1901 and attended The Glasgow School of Art for the academic year 1918 to 1919. During this time, Robertson resided at 21 Partickhill Road, in Glasgow's West End. His tuition was subsidised by the City Local Authority.
Robertson was an evening student of Drawing and Painting and is recorded as being a clerk by occupation. It is likely that he was under the tutelage of Professors James M. Dunlop and James Gray, who were the evening school supervisors at this time.
It is possible that Robertson became known as 'Alex Robertson,' who was a watercolour painter active around 1957, also based in Glasgow's West End at Loanfoot Avenue. Alex Robertson exhibited the work 'Lister Burn, Lamlash' at The Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts.
