  • Albert Irvin, Beacon II, 1994 Acrylic on Canvas 186 X 160Cm [Detail] Albert Irvin
    Albert Irvin, Beacon II, 1994 Acrylic on canvas 186 x 160cm [detail] Albert Irvin Albert Irvin OBE RA was born in 1922 in London, where he continued to live and work throughout his life. In the early 1940’s Irvin attended Northampton School of Art. His studies were interrupted when he was called up, serving as a navigator in the Royal Air Force during the Second World War. After the war ended he enrolled at Goldsmiths College in London to resume his studies. In 1962, he returned to Goldsmiths where he taught for twenty years. He also taught as visiting lecturer at art colleges throughout Britain. Irvin’s first solo exhibition was in 1960 at 57 Gallery, Edinburgh followed by New Art Centre in London in 1963 and 1965. He went on to exhibit extensively throughout Europe, the USA and Australia. A major retrospective of his work from 1960 to 1989 was held at the Serpentine Gallery, London in 1990. Irvin was awarded a Travel Award to America by the Arts Council in 1968 and later received an Arts Council Major Award In 1970 he moved into his Studio in Stepney Green and continued travelling to work there from his home at least 3 times a week into his 90s. He formed a working relationship with Advanced Graphics London in 1979, and began producing screenprints with them - the start of a very successful venture. 2 Irvin joined Gimpel Fils in 1982 they had regular, solo exhibitions of his work throughout his life. His works are held in many public collections including Tate, Royal Academy and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London; The British Council; Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin; Manchester City Art Gallery; Leeds Art Gallery and The Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney.

In 2017/18 we worked in all of Scotland’s 32 local authority areas to deliver a wide-ranging programme which included touring exhibitions and loans, community engagement projects, learning and digital programmes as well as support for collections development through the National Fund for Acquisitions, expert advice from our specialist staff and skills development through our National Training Programme. As part of our drive to engage young people in STEM learning (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths), we developed Powering Up, a national science engagement programme for schools. Funded by the ScottishPower Foundation, we delivered workshops on wind, solar and wave energy in partnership with the National Mining Museum, the Scottish Maritime Museum and New Lanark World Heritage Site. In January 2017, as part of the final phase of redevelopment of the National Museum of Scotland, we launched an ambitious national programme to support engagement with Ancient Egyptian and East Asian collections held in museums across Scotland. Funded by the National Lottery and the Esmée Fairbairn Collections Fund, the project is providing national partnership exhibitions and supporting collection reviews, skills development and new approaches to audience engagement. All of this work is contributing to our ambition to share our collections and expertise as widely as possible, ensuring that we are a truly national museum for Scotland.

  • Contemporary & Post-War Art (474) Lot
    Contemporary & Post-War Art (474) Thu, 18th Aug 2016, Edinburgh Lot 132 Estimate: £3000 - £5000 + Fees § ALEXANDER GOUDIE R.P., R.G.I. (SCOTTISH 1933- 2004) ROYAL OPERA HOUSE Signed, oil on canvas 48cm x 86cm (19in x 34in) Note: 'I have always lived through my art and in a sense to really taste life to the full I am obliged to put a line around it. Since early childhood this has been my lot, everything which excited my imagination had to be set down in pictorial terms, a magic world where a different language helps explore and explain as well as heighten the experience of living.' And so Alexander Goudie outlines his understanding of art, as an all-pervasive force that allowed him to fully engage in life and all that it had to offer. It is no surprise, then, that Goudie painted across genres, found inspiration in music and literature as well as visual experience, was keen to collaborate on projects in different spheres, and remained a dedicated dandy. After training at Glasgow School of Art, he spent time travelling in Europe on a scholarship, where he encountered art that inspired him, as well as being to his taste, by artists like Rodin and Courbet. He liked to see, and attempt, mastery in painting but in a more conventional way; remaining uninspired by 20th century artistic movements, such as cubism or futurism. He has been described as 'an old- fashioned painter,' and for a man who felt that his job as an artist was 'to simply to tell a story in pictures and to speak with a clear voice,' presumably this was a compliment.

  • Alan Riach and Alexander Moffat on the Work of Joan Eardley: Part Two
    Riach, A. and Moffat, A. (2017) At one with being at odds with nature: Alan Riach and Alexander Moffat on the work of Joan Eardley: Part two. National, 2017, 10 Feb. 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/161560/ Deposited on: 01 May 2018 Enlighten – Research publications by members of the University of Glasgow http://eprints.gla.ac.uk Joan Eardley: Part 2 Alan Riach and Alexander Moffat Joan Eardley’s Romantic vision comes straight from Turner and William MacTaggart, something both intrinsic to the energy of matter and the dynamics of life, exalted yet destructive, heroic yet costly. It will take your life indifferently. Your response to this is crucial: both accepting, and defying it, is essential. The catalogue to the current exhibition “Joan Eardley: A Sense of Place” at the Scottish National Gallery of Art in Edinburgh (running till May 21 2017) tells us that, when asked, in 1961, she said she didn’t much like Turner and didn’t know much about MacTaggart, and that regarding her immediate interests in the art world, she named Jackson Pollock and the Tachistes. It isn’t surprising. The artist’s job isn’t to create a tradition in which she or he might comfortably settle, but to do the work. Certainly, the energy and painterly abandon of Pollock’s American abstract expressionism and its European counterpart is related to what we see in the Catterline paintings, but how much more comforting, warmly settled, patterned to give pleasure, Pollock and his contemporary abstract expressionists are nowadays, when we return to them, compared to the still troubling, still imposing power of the real sea Eardley is delivering to us.

  • Principal Job Pack
    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.

  • Education Scotland Report June 2016
    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.
