Issue 10
Our tenth issue reveals and reminds. Malcolm McCoig wants to record the marvellous printmaking artistry of Donald Addison; Duncan MacMillan, who we welcome to art-scot, focuses our attention on an exhibition of Modern Scottish Art in Finland, forty six years ago. How did we present Scottish Art? How did others see us? Rosie Shackleton draws back the veil on The McGeehan Family, Airdrie's major contribution to Scottish Art; while Amy Fairley, responsible for the Perth Art Gallery, sheds light on the hopes, aspirations and challenges of today's Scottish public galleries. Meanwhile, we remind ourselves of stories and connections through Jane Adamson's odyssey down the Tay, as she reaches Dundee.
Malcolm McCoig surveys the life and work of the great Aberdeen print-man: subtle tones, masterful print technique, great artistry.
