Bell, James Torrington (1898-1970), artist biography he was a Scottish landscape painter who exhibited at the RA and the RSA (1934-1940). Torrington Bell’s primary aim was to show people his vision of the things we know. Mountains, lochs, rivers, farms, avenues of trees and dry stone dykes are all quintessential features of our landscape that we all know and recognise today. Torrington Bell would often paint outdoors and could be seen travelling by bike, easel and paints carefully strapped upon his back.

Torrington Bell was born in Leven, Fife. During the First World War, he served as a lieutenant in the Royal Navy. Torrington Bell made Carnoustie his home where, following his father's footsteps, he worked as a bank manager. It is said that Torrington Bell made his bank unique by creating striking panels depicting the industries of the district.

Torrington Bell was a graduate of Edinburgh College of Art where he honed his skills in tempera, oil and watercolour. Torrington Bell travelled all over Scotland and beyond, visiting galleries, experimenting with his work and exhibited at the Royal Academy, the Royal Scottish Academy and the Royal Institute of Fine Art in Glasgow. Torrington Bell also produced iconic posters for London Midland Scottish Railway in 1939, inviting people to enjoy the scenery whilst travelling by rail.

Despite his work in developing and honing his artistic practice, artistic recognition was slow to arrive to Torrington Bell. At the time, his work was not taken as seriously due to his other profession as a bank manager. Text source: Museums Galleries Archives, ANGUSalive.
