Scottish Contemporary Artists: Illustrated Art Talk by Julia Marwood
Advertisement
The death this year of the hugely popular Scottish artist Jack Vettriano drew the attention of a lot of art lovers to the art world north of the border. Why was Jack Vettriano so popular with the public but so despised by the art establishment? And who else has been prominent in Scottish art in recent years? This talk will explore the phenomenon that was - and still is - Vettriano, and a range of other recent artists, from the New Glasgow Boys emerging from the Glasgow School of Art in the 1980s, to contemporary Scottish women like Alison Watt and Caroline Walker, with many more in between!
Free entry, booking essential.
