Product Description
For twenty years, at the end of the nineteenth century, a group of painters based in Glasgow, but working all over Scotland, and also on the Mediterranean coast and in the middle east, established an international reputation for realism, naturalism, and plein-air landscape painting. Led by James Guthrie, John Lowery, Arthur Melville and E.A. Hornel, they were to find fame and fortune with their naturalistic subject matter and their strong, clean, fresh colours. First published twenty years ago this prize winning book has long been the standard account of their work, and is now revised and redesigned with the majority of the illustrations now in colour.

Thank you for the link to this book. I have recently been reading about the Glasgow Girls, specifically Norah Neilson Gray, and would love to know more about the artists that graduated from the Glasgow School of Art during that extraordinary period of creativity.
ReplyDeleteI love Hornel's work and these artists and the Newlyn artists are my big interest at the moment. Thanks.

ReplyDeleteI wrote a post about Laura Knight which led me to other artists from the Newlyn School and I have really enjoyed your recent posts from the Newlyn School which included pictures that I was not familiar with.

Incidentally, I was flattered to see a link to my post on Christiana Herringham on your blog - praise indeed!
(sorry...incorrect url in deleted comment)
And what a great post it was too - I'll definately include that some time. Perhaps you'll restart your blog sometime. I'm retired and probably have more time than most and I stil love to learn.
