Scottish Art in the 20th Century: 1890-2001

"Scottish Art in the 20th Century" firmly establishes the claim of artists such as Charles Rennie Mackintosh and John Duncan Fergusson to be partners--not followers--in art's early modern movement. Duncan Macmillan traces the flow of ideas from the Scots Renaissance, the evolution of a distinct Edinburgh school, and the important place that artists like Joan Eardley and Alan Davie played in postwar Britain. He brings the story up to date with the remarkable talent of Steven Campbell, Ken Currie, and others who have marked a new flowering of Scottish art. Duncan Macmillan is curator of the Talbot Rice Gallery and Professor of the History of Scottish Art at the University of Edinburgh. He has written many distinguished works, including "Scottish Art 1460-2000."
