This exhibition of over 40 works, selected from the artist's studio bequest to the RSA's Collection, explores the life and work of William Littlejohn RSA (1929-2006). A highly distinguished Scottish artist practicing largely in watercolour and collage-based media, his landscape and still-life pieces reflect his life in the harbour town of Arbroath and Scotland’s east coast, his travels to Japan, and the possibilities of representation and abstraction that evolved over his career.
