At a time of burgeoning interest in all areas of Scottish painting,this book is an invaluable reference work for all collectors,dealers, private and public galleries and museums. 'The Dictionary of Scottish Painters' is arranged alphabetically and contains entries on some 2,000 painters who have worked in Scotland.Both major and minor figures are taken into account,with dates of birth and death (so far as is known); exhibition dates; details of training; media used; major works and relationships to other artists. The authors have structured the entries in order to place each artist in an art historical context rather than merely presenting bald biographical details.There is also a series of generic entries dealing with artistic institutions and groupings which range from the National Galleries of Scotland and the Trustees' Academy to the 'Glasgow Boys' and the 'Colourists'. This is the 3rd edition of a book which received extensive critical success when first published.The new edition fetures over sixty additional entires,and twenty new colour illustrations,of the most recent Scottish artists,including Howson,Bellany,Conroy and Vettriano. Since April 2013 and again in March 2015,and in this year too,the UK Post Office has altered it's Pricing in Proportion template,altering it's prices,weight allowances,dimensions and lowered it's qualifying compensation rates too!
