  • Scotland Street Public School
    M233 Scotland Street Public School Introduction This three-storey school was built by the School Board of Glasgow to serve a densely populated part of Tradeston, just S. of the River Clyde. Some features show the influence of historic Scottish architecture, but the design is remarkable for its novel reinterpretation of tradition, especially in the glazed towers that light the stairs. The boundary wall with its gates and railings and the janitor's house at the N.W. corner of the site were part of the original scheme. Closed as a school due to demolition of the surrounding housing, the building reopened as a museum of education in November 1990. Authorship: Mackintosh is named as architect in official correspondence from the School Board, and in other contemporary sources. Scotland Street School was one of his most important commissions. Cost from job book: £18,597 2s 6½d Cost from other sources: The final measurements of £19,171 8s 1d plus other expenses of £1370 0s 6d gave a total of £20,541 12s 6d. 1 Status: Standing building Current name: Scotland Street School Museum Current use: Museum of Education (2014) Listing category: A Historic Scotland/HB Number: 33534 RCAHMS Site Number: NS56SE 328.01 Grid reference: NS 57752 64142 Chronology 1903 27 April: Purchase of ground for new school in Tradeston. 1 22 June: Mackintosh appointed architect (but official letter of appointment not written until 21 August). 2 2 November: First drawings submitted to The School Board of Glasgow.

The artist has a habit of resisting any attempt at taxonomy however, wriggling free from the entomologist’s chloroform bottle and display pin, to be unruly, unpredictable and provide no favours for the art historian. Yes, we had The Glasgow Boys, a coherent group of realist painters before the beginning of the 20th Century. And then came The Scottish Colourists, our first modernists, who certainly exhibited as a group and can be understood as British post-impressionists. In the post-War years the choice seemed to be to stay in Scotland under the wing of your Art College or move to the South, like Colquhoun and MacBryde, Alan Davie, William Gear and W. Barns-Graham. Of course the complex reality denies a simple telling; for every adherent there is an opponent and many of the most powerful and individual painters of the period like James Cowie or Joan Eardley neither left nor taught in Glasgow or Edinburgh.

  • EIGHT ARTISTS CATALOGUE 6 July 2015.Pdf
    THE LEMOND GALLERY SCOTTISH CONTEMPORARY ART AN EXAMINATION OF EIGHT ARTISTS FROM TWO CRITICAL PHASES OF SCOTTISH ART TRAINING TWO WEEKS - Saturday 18th July to Sunday 2nd August 2015 CONTEMPORARY SCOTTISH ART AN EXAMINATION OF EIGHT ARTISTS FROM TWO CRITICAL PHASES OF SCOTTISH ART TRAINING BACKGROUND It is somewhat logical that, as we look at the Contemporary Scottish Art offering, we should find the roots of what we are looking at within the key Scottish educational establishments. As Scotland prospered from its dominant position within the industrial revolution (1760-1840) and the wealthy Victorian era (1837-1901), patronage and interest in the arts expanded and new art schools emerged in all of the main population centres – the Glasgow School of Art (GSA) 1845, the Edinburgh College of Art (ECA) which can trace its development to 1760, formed the current institution in 1906, Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, Dundee (DOJD) 1892 and lastly Gray’s School of Art, Aberdeen (GSAA) 1885. These institutions, together with the formation of the various artist bodies incorporated by Royal Charter including the Royal Scottish Academy (RSA 1826), the Royal Glasgow Institute (RGI 1861) and the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour (RSW 1876) together with the Paisley Art Institute (PAI 1876) would underpin the central foundations of subsequent art development in Scotland. Scottish Art history records two significant periods of art development in this period – the social realism of the Glasgow Boys (1870-1910) and the Scottish Colourists (c.1920-1940), whose popular idiom embraced the earlier work of the French impressionists and post-impressionists.

Thesis may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by mimeograph or other means, without the permission of the author. 11 Supervisor: Dr. E, Turoasonis ABSTRACT Scottish artists Margaret and Frances Macdonald produced their most innovative art during the last decade of the nineteenth century. They received their training at the Glasgow School of Art and became known for their contribution to "the Glasgow Style," Scotland's answer to Continental Art nouveau and Symbolism. Although they inherited their visual vocabulary from the male-dominated language of the fin-de-siècle. they produced representations of women that differed from those made by their male colleagues. I suggest that these representations were informed by the female exper,i*nce and that they must be understood as such if we, as historians, are to discuss their art.
