Innes, J. D.
Innes, J. D. ( James Dickson Innes) (1887–1914). British painter, mainly of landscapes (particularly mountain scenes) but also occasionally of figure subjects. He was born in Llanelli and studied at Carmarthen Art School, 1904–5, and the Slade School, 1906–8. In 1908 he met Augustus John and formed a close friendship with him; they often painted together, particularly in their native Wales in 1911 and 1912. Another friend with whom he enjoyed working was Derwent Lees. Between 1908 and 1913 Innes travelled widely in France, Spain, North Africa, and the Canary Islands, hoping to recuperate from tuberculosis, but he died of the illness in a nursing home in Kent in 1914. His early work was in an Impressionist manner influenced by Steer, but after leaving the Slade he developed a more expressive Post-Impressionist style, combining a strong sense of pattern with a range of hot colour similar to that used by Derain and Matisse. He usually painted on a fairly small scale, often on wooden panels; he also worked a good deal in watercolour.
