Description

A New Era: Scottish Modern Art 1900-1950 by Alice Strang explores an alternative story of modern Scottish art, challenging the accepted view of the dominance of the Scottish Colorists. This book uncovers the hitherto little-known progressive Scottish art world, revealing the commitment of Scottish artists to European modern art movements. Through works by high-profile artists such as William Gillies and Stanley Cursiter, alongside lesser-known talents like Tom Pow and Edwin G. Lucas, A New Era sheds light on the innovative approaches of these artists. The book takes its name from a group established in Edinburgh in 1939, which showcased surreal and abstract work by its members. An accompanying exhibition at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art will run from December 2nd to June 10th, 2018, offering a unique opportunity for readers to experience these groundbreaking works.
