He was an essential part of Scotland's art establishment, serving as Secretary, then as President, of the Royal Scottish Academy. As a teacher his entire career was spent within the School of Drawing and Painting of his alma mater, Edinburgh College of Art. This new study presents a detailed portrait of the man and his art to show how inseparable the two were. It discusses his life as a painter and, for a time, a printmaker. It draws on many archives, including some previously unavailable, to shed new light on his life and, in particular, it details his close involvement with a Borders textile company and an international tapestry studio. The book also tells how art society in Scotland's capital operated over a half century as the narrative tracks friendships, conversations and exhibitions |
