...The only book available on Scottish painting, this book is now in its third edition with a new introduction & final chapter that brings the book up to date with the latest developments in Scottish painting (Richard Wright's win of the Turner Prize 2009). Illustrated throughout, the work is by acknowledged authority on Scottish painting William Hardie. Scottish society has been reflected through the strong colour & energetic brushwork of its artists. The book traces the beginnings of Scottish painting from the foundation of the Foulis Academy in 1753, with William Dyce & Scott Lauder establishing themselves in the south, followed by W Q Orchardson & John Pettie around 1860. European travel ensured Scottish painters were open to new techniques, & the explosion of the Glasgow Boys & then the Colourists onto the scene meant Scotland was respected for its innovation & imagination. Charles Rennie Mackintosh today is still internationally recognised for his work, & the painting of John Byrne, Curister, & Peter Howson bring the book to the present day.
