Description

Scotland Creates : 5000 Years of Art and Design. Edited by Wendy Kaplan. 'What is Scottish about Scottish art and design? What are the characteristics, if any, that recur to make an object identifiably Scottish? From the beginning a Scottish identity was inseparably linked to the assimilation of foreign influences, yet the flow of ideas was not just one way since Scottish artists, designers and craftsmen have also made, and continued to make, a measurable impact on European culture. The achievement of Robert Adam, Allan Ramsay, David Wilkie, Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Eduardo Paolozzi are only the most obvious examples of this. In Scotland Creates the contributors, all experts in their fields, explore these controversial questions and themes in eleven authoritative essays. This book was originally published to accompany an exhibition of the same name at the McLellan Galleries in Glasgow. A VERY LARGE BOOK THAT WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL FREIGHT.
