Wright. S - Art Lexicon

Lexicon of foreign painters in Macedonia between 1850-1950

S. Wright (XIX – XX), British

It is impossible to identify the artist more precisely. There is an old auction record from the Auction House Moore Allen & Innocent, UK about a lot (number 341) of two watercolors of an artist signed “S.Wright” and fully entitled as: “Macedonian peasant, Uscub” and “Greek Comitadji Mt. Parnassus 1917” both signed and dated 1921. The artist was probably a soldier in the British army stationed in Macedonia during the Great War.

About Me

This lexicon is a result of my 15 years long period of researching & documenting the personalities and the artworks of the foreign painters, sculptors, illustrators, and photographers having visited different spots of the geographic territory of Macedonia, there having created works of art there over a 100-years long period i.e. between 1850-1950. Their presence and artwork in the Macedonian milieus represent a notable cultural heritage to the international linkage of the ethnic Macedonians as well as to all the ethnicities living in the picturesque territory of Macedonia and the cultures of modern-day countries spread over parts of the geographic territory of Macedonia. Witnessing the artistic contributions of the foreign artist, we are proud of their Macedonia-themed creative works and experiences. I believe that their artworks, having been inspired and created over the vast region of Macedonia, unite us all in these challenging times, and under the facts and the values of the artistic beauty.
