Issue 11 of art-scot takes in the past and the present. Anne Emerson provides an authoritative account of the half-forgotten sculptor Eric Schilsky, who now emerges from the past century to sit alongside his better-known contemporaries of the Edinburgh School. Douglas Erskine speaks to Duncan Macmillan, who thinks back on his time as curator of the Talbot Rice in the year the Edinburgh gallery turns 50; he shares important thoughts on the present too. Roger Spence delves deep into the work of Janet Melrose, the mid-career artist working in the here and now, and who’s out to challenge herself. And Rosie Shackleton illuminates the work of young contemporary painter Faye Eleanor Woods, which takes in womanhood, Scottishness and Guinness. It’s a heady mix indeed.
