Overview

"A History of Scottish Art offers a detailed and engaging examination of over 200 works from the late eighteenth century to the present day by such well-known artists as Henry Raeburn, David Wilkie, Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Elizabeth Blackadder, many of which have never previously been documented or published. Also included are works by the Scottish Colourists, the Glasgow Boys and the Edinburgh School, as well as by important but little-known artists." This illustrated book offers an important new historical survey of Scottish art at a time when it is already enjoying a rapid growth in popularity. Its exploration of artistic developments in Scotland from the eighteenth century to the twenty-first will appeal to anyone interested in Scottish art and culture.
