Bullfighter
Born in Fife, John Houston was a Scottish painter and educator.
Following studies at the Edinburgh College of Art, he taught at the
College for more than 30 years. Before retiring in 1989, he had
been the departmental head of painting school and the director of
its postgraduate department.
Houston painted in an expressive and semi-abstract style, with
his later work becoming more atmospheric in response to influences
from Turner and American Abstract Expressism.
