Opis

The Glasgow Boys revolutionised Scottish painting in the years between 1880 and 1895 but their influence lasted until just before the First World War. Lavery, Guthrie, Henry, Hornel, Crawhall, Walton and Kennedy formed the main group of painters, but there were some 18 painters in total associated with the Glasgow school. The author's understanding of the art world and the importance of financial support and also painting techniques makes this book a unique contribution to books written on The Glasgow Boys. The Glasgow Boys are the subject of an exhibition at Kelvingrove Art Gallery in spring/summer 2010, and then at the Royal Academy, London until January 2011. William Hardie is an acknowledged authority on Scottish painting. He was educated at Glasgow Academy and Glasgow University, and was Keeper of Art, and then Deputy Director of Dundee Art Gallery and Museum.
