  • 'The Neo-Avant-Garde in Modern Scottish Art, And
    ‘THE NEO-AVANT-GARDE IN MODERN SCOTTISH ART, AND WHY IT MATTERS.’ CRAIG RICHARDSON DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (BY PUBLISHED WORK) THE SCHOOL OF FINE ART, THE GLASGOW SCHOOL OF ART 2017 1 ‘THE NEO-AVANT-GARDE IN MODERN SCOTTISH ART, AND WHY IT MATTERS.’ Abstract. The submitted publications are concerned with the historicisation of late-modern Scottish visual art. The underpinning research draws upon archives and site visits, the development of Scottish art chronologies in extant publications and exhibitions, and builds on research which bridges academic and professional fields, including Oliver 1979, Hartley 1989, Patrizio 1999, and Lowndes 2003. However, the methodology recognises the limits of available knowledge of this period in this national field. Some of the submitted publications are centred on major works and exhibitions excised from earlier work in Gage 1977, and Macmillan 1994. This new research is discussed in a new iteration, Scottish art since 1960, and in eight other publications. The primary objective is the critical recovery of little-known artworks which were formed in Scotland or by Scottish artists and which formed a significant period in Scottish art’s development, with legacies and implications for contemporary Scottish art and artists. This further serves as an analysis of critical practices and discourses in late-modern Scottish art and culture. The central contention is that a Scottish neo-avant-garde, particularly from the 1970s, is missing from the literature of post-war Scottish art. This was due to a lack of advocacy, which continues, and a dispersal of knowledge. Therefore, while the publications share with extant publications a consideration of important themes such as landscape, it reprioritises these through a problematisation of the art object.

So, it seems appropriate now to reflect more widely beyond the normal hori- zon of the Annual Report. Our founders in 1768 comprised some of the greatest figures of the British Enlightenment, King George III, Reynolds, West and Chambers, supported and advised by a wider circle of thinkers and intellectuals such as Edmund Burke and Samuel Johnson. It is no exaggeration to suggest that their original inten- tions for what the Academy should be are closer to realisation than ever before. They proposed a school, an exhibition and a membership.

  • Scottish Art: Then and Now
    Scottish Art: Then and Now by Clarisse Godard-Desmarest “Ages of Wonder: Scotland’s Art 1540 to Now”, an exhibition presented in Edinburgh by the Royal Scottish Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture tells the story of collecting Scottish art. Mixing historic and contemporary works, it reveals the role played by the Academy in championing the cause of visual arts in Scotland. Reviewed: Tom Normand, ed., Ages of Wonder: Scotland’s Art 1540 to Now Collected by the Royal Scottish Academy of Art and Architecture, Edinburgh, The Royal Scottish Academy, 2017, 248 p. The Royal Scottish Academy (RSA) and the National Galleries of Scotland (NGS) have collaborated to present a survey of collecting by the academy since its formation in 1826 as the Scottish Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture. Ages of Wonder: Scotland’s Art 1540 to Now (4 November 2017-7 January 2018) is curated by RSA President Arthur Watson, RSA Collections Curator Sandy Wood and Honorary Academician Tom Normand. It has spawned a catalogue as well as a volume of fourteen essays, both bearing the same title as the exhibition. The essay collection, edited by Tom Normand, includes chapters on the history of the RSA collections, the buildings on the Mound, artistic discourse in the nineteenth century, teaching at the academy, and Normand’s “James Guthrie and the Invention of the Modern Academy” (pp. 117–34), on the early, complex history of the RSA. Contributors include Duncan Macmillan, John Lowrey, William Brotherston, John Morrison, Helen Smailes, James Holloway, Joanna Soden, Alexander Moffat, Iain Gale, Sandy Wood, and Arthur Watson.

    The Leith School of Art 25 North Junction Street Edinburgh EH6 6HW Telephone: 0131 554 5761 Web: www.LeithSchoolofArt.co.uk Email: [email protected] Leith School of Art – appointment of Principal A welcome from the Chair of the Board of Directors Thank you for your interest in Leith School of Art and in our search for a new Principal. As you delve into the following pages I hope you will gain a sense of what makes Leith School of Art unique and this vacancy so special. Leith School of Art is held in great respect by artists far and wide and in genuine affection by all who are associated with it. Leith means a great deal in different ways to different people of course, but if two things stand out it is the excellence of the teaching and the sense of community and support that surrounds it. There are many who can describe the experience of studying at Leith as life-changing, whether as a springboard to an artistic career or privately as a way to find, or rediscover, fulfilment, self-connection and expression. Our means-tested Assisted Places and Community Classes open the door to many for whom the opportunity to learn about art and design would be beyond reach on cost grounds. With the forthcoming retirement of our current Principal, we are at a highly significant transition in the story of Leith School of Art, and this is a very exciting opportunity for an artist with a passion and vision for art education to play a leading role in shaping the next chapter.

    Review of private Further Education colleges and English Language Schools Leith School of Art 1 June 2016 The review process This review report follows the quality framework for the review arrangements for private further education colleges and English language Schools in Scotland, April 2012. The review normally lasts for three days. Over the three-day period, the review team: engage with learners; observe episodes of learning and teaching and provide feedback to each member of teaching staff or other learning facilitator on strengths and areas for further development; conduct interviews and undertake other activity required to determine the extent of concordance between documentary evidence and practice; evaluate evidence against the 11 reference quality indicators; and identify key strengths and areas for further development for the organisation. Education Scotland is an approved educational oversight body authorised by the Home Office to inspect private further education colleges and English language Schools in Scotland. Reviews are arranged under three high-level questions which Education Scotland is adopting for evaluative purposes: How well are learners progressing and achieving relevant, high quality outcomes? How effective are the organisation’s learning and teaching processes? How effective are the organisation’s leadership and quality culture? Education Scotland reviews are designed to: support and promote quality enhancement in organisations to provide the best possible experience for the learner; provide information to the Home Office, when required, on the quality of organisations and the learning experience they provide; provide an independent evaluation to assist organisations in informing prospective and current learners of the quality of the organisation’s and services; evaluate organisations against the Education Scotland quality framework, March 2012; and complement organisation-led internal review and self-evaluation.

  • DAVID MICHIE Memorial Exhibition
    DAVID MICHIE DAVID DAVID MICHIE Memorial Exhibition The Scottish Gallery, Edinburgh DAVID MICHIE (1928-2015) Memorial Exhibition 1 March – 1 April 2017 16 Dundas Street · Edinburgh EH3 6HZ +44 (0) 131 558 1200 [email protected] www.scottish-gallery.co.uk Front cover: Summer Garden, 1990, oil on canvas, 132 x 152.5 cms (detail) (cat. 26) Left: Self Portrait II, c.1958, chalk drawing, 36.5 x 26.5 cms (detail) (cat. 6) FOREWORD A memorial exhibition should not be a sombre affair and with the subject being the life and work of David Michie our exhibition for March 2017 could not be anything but a joyous celebration, as the succeeding pages should attest. David was a devoted son to his mother Anne Redpath, the happiest of married men with his wife Eileen, the best of fathers to his girls (who have all our thanks for helping prepare this tribute) and a friend to so many, including succeeding staff at The Scottish Gallery. One of whom, Robin McClure, writes a warm introduction over the page. This generosity of heart sprang from David’s intense interest in people: he had much to say but always as part of a conversation. But whatever he was saying he was also looking, a sketchbook seldom far from hand and what he saw and remembered or recorded helped him develop his own visual language to describe many aspects of natural phenomena but also his own feelings. A natural modesty could make him a reluctant exhibitor but the exuberance and colour in his work seeks out the light and attests to a life well lived, full of optimism and creative fulfilment.
