'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. -

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 Glasgow Academy WW1 Roll of Honour
The Glasgow Academy WW1 Roll of Honour From the onset of the First World War in 1914 until 1918, the Glasgow Academy suffered a great many losses during the conflict.

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.

In 2009, Vettriano was commissioned by the Yacht Club of Monaco to create a series of paintings to mark the centenary of their world famous yacht, Tuiga. The subsequent exhibition, ‘Homage a Tuiga‘, premiered in Monaco as part of Classic Yacht Week in September 2009, before touring to the UK in 2010. In March 2010, Days of Wine and Roses was opened by Scotland’s then First Minister the Rt Hon Alex Salmond SNP at the Kirkcaldy Museum, then transferred to London. Later that year, Sir Jackie Stewart presented Vettriano with the Great Scot of the Year Award which led to a Motion in Parliament calling for his contribution to Scottish culture to be recognised. -
William Crosbie Centenary Exhibition
WILLIAM CROSBIE Centenary Exhibition WILLIAM CROSBIE (1915-1999) Centenary Exhibition 7 - 31 JANUARY 2015 16 Dundas Street, Edinburgh EH3 6HZ TEL 0131 558 1200 EMAIL [email protected] www.scottish-gallery.co.uk Front cover: Music of Living - Monkey and Nude, 1988, oil on board, 71 x 91.4 cms, cat. 33 Left: Self Portrait, 1956, oil on board, 60.3 x 43.1 cms, cat. 11 2 INTRODUCTION There are many Scottish painters who have made a mark on our culture and consciousness in the last century and it is tempting to try to attach each to a school or movement. 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. -

JD Fergusson: a Dramatic Fusion of Art, Nationality and Modernism
Riach, A. (2016) JD Fergusson: A dramatic fusion of art, nationality and modernism. National, 2016, 18 March. This is the author’s final accepted version. There may be differences between this version and the published version. You are advised to consult the publisher’s version if you wish to cite from it. http://eprints.gla.ac.uk/150161/ Deposited on: 19 October 2017 Enlighten – Research publications by members of the University of Glasgow http://eprints.gla.ac.uk J.D. Fergusson – Art and Nationality Alan Riach and Alexander Moffat (Friday 18 March 2016) [Boxed off:] While Scottish poets and writers gathered in Montrose in the 1920s, then in St Andrews and Shetland in the 1930s, an artist of an older generation, born in Leith in 1874, was to travel alongside and sometimes intersect with their work. He was one of the group known familiarly as the Scottish Colourists but his vision and purpose is seen not only in his style and subjects but also, emphatically, in his book, Modern Scottish Painting. This was and remains a manifesto for the distinctiveness of Scottish art, and of Scotland, internationally and independently. He is one of the major artists of the twentieth century, fully in touch with international Modernism in Paris before the First World War, and committed to cultural and political regeneration in Scotland after the Second World War. His name was John Duncan Fergusson. [Article begins:] J.D. Fergusson’s book, Modern Scottish Painting appeared in 1943, the same year as Hugh MacDiarmid’s autobiography Lucky Poet: A Self-Study in Literature and Political Ideas and the major breakthrough volume of modern Gaelic poetry, Sorley Maclean’s Dàin do Eimhir.
