Issue 7
art-scot 7 spreads its wings from Carnoustie to Yell and from Gullane to St Monans; and we cover Scottish art from the mid-19th century to February 2024. We urge you to get to know Mike McDonnell. Jonathan Wills' book is a must-have, and the excerpts we print here give you a flavour. Douglas Erskine has been to Gullane to meet Alan Rae and get the inside story on Fidra Fine Art. Meanwhile, Jane Adamson is back, and circumnavigating St Monans and its church in the company of a century of painters; while Roger Spence has produced a biography of James Torrington Bell, the first, we think.
As always, we'd welcome your comments!
