John Falconar Slater: The North East’s Weatherproof Artist
Marshall Hall
The first biography of one of the North East’s best-known artists. Written by well-known local art historian and author Marshall Hall, and titled John Falconar Slater - The North East’s Weatherproof Artist, it tells of how the Newcastle-born artist acquired his nickname by wearing his weatherproof oilskins to paint the local coastline in the wildest of climatic conditions. At a time when artists on the Continent were increasingly succumbing to the attractions of open-air painting, leading to their identification as Impressionists , a North East artist had been independently practising it for several years, and in weather conditions rarely tackled by its followers in France and elsewhere.
