_336 'Snow Cloud: Sun and Sleat, 1' "This painting of skies near Mallaig was gifted to the West Highland Museum by the artist\u2019s widow Magda Salvesen in1994. Jon Schueler (1916\u20131992) was regarded as a member of the New York Abstract Expressionist school of art. He first visited Scotland in 1957 where he travelled to Lochaber. He felt inspired by the turbulent skies and set up a studio near Mallaig on the Sound of Sleat, a stretch of water that runs between the Scottish mainland and the Isle of Skye. Schueler lived at Romasaig for five years in the 1970s and returned most years until his death. Dramatic changes in weather conditions are common in the area and Schueler dramatically captures these in his paintings" vanessa English Art Physical Object Art IMAGE Jon Schueler "This painting of skies near Mallaig was gifted to the West Highland Museum by the artist\u2019s widow Magda Salvesen in1994.
