William Strang (1859-1921) was a painter and printmaker born in Dumbarton, Scotland. After attending Dumbarton Academy, Strang studied at the Slade School of Art, 1876-79 under Alphonse Legros. His tutor's influence was long-lasting and Strang was not only to remain in London for the remainder of his life but turned to etching and only occasionally painted until early in the next century. William Strang was elected an Associate of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers in 1881 and was awarded a silver medal for etching at the Paris International Exhibition of 1889 and elected to the Art Workers' Guild in 1895.
In 1906 the Royal Academy of Arts elected him an Associate member and a full member in 1921 shortly before his death. He acted as president of the International Society of Sculptors, Painters & Gravers in 1918 and was also a member of the Society of Twelve.
Prolific in the extreme, he showed at Colnaghi, Fine Art Society, Grosvenor Gallery, Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts, Walker Art Gallery, New English Art Club, Royal Society of Portrait Painters, Royal Academy of Arts, Royal Hibernian Academy and at the Royal Scottish Academy.
