Sir David Young Cameron RA, RSA, RWS, RE
1865 - 1945
Born in Glasgow, the son of a Presbyterian minister, Cameron studied at the Glasgow and Edinburgh Schools of Art. His sister Katherine was also an artist and was associated with the Glasgow Girls group. D. Y. Cameron, as he typically signed himself, was elected to the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers and Engravers (RE) in 1889, and his exhibits there and extensive body of often spare, linear etchings and drypoints, many of them of the Scottish landscape, are right at the heart of the etching revival. His paintings are also iconic images of the Highlands in the early 20th century. He resigned from the RE in 1903, but was a founder member of the Society of Twelve in 1904 and was elected to the Royal Scottish Academy in the same year, to the Royal Watercolour Society in 1906 and to the Royal Academy in 1911.
