Summary

This volume discusses the distinctive personalities & individual genius that have formed the character of Scottish art & is particularly opportune at a time when the issue & nature of Scottish identity have come to the foreground. Annotation. A well-illustrated compendium, from prehistory through the 20th century, tracing the themes and ideas that Scottish artists have continually returned to, forming an overarching culture that is studded with distinct and colorful personalities. It's a vivid history, though the edition's small type, particularly in the faint sans-serif captions, is hard on older eyes. Macdonald, a painter, teaches the history of Scottish art at the U. of Dundee
