Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | Will Maclean (b.1941) is one of the outstanding Scottish artists of his generation. This new publication, timed to coincide with a major display of his work at the City Art Centre in Edinburgh, provides a fresh insight into his practice from a variety of perspectives. Maclean?s work is anchored in the history, archaeology, and literature of the Scottish Highlands and the Highland people, as well as his family background and personal associations with the sea.00Born in Inverness where his father was harbour master, Maclean?s family history is inextricably linked with the Scottish west coast and the Isle of Skye. His first ambition was to follow in his father?s footsteps and go to sea himself. After a period as a midshipman between 1957 and 1959, a failed eye test cut short his career and Maclean entered Gray?s School of Art in Aberdeen in 1961. He spent another period at sea in 1968 as a ring-net fisherman which led to an important bursary in 1973 that enabled him to study this traditional fishing method in detail. The body of work, numbering well over 400 drawings, prints and watercolours, is now in the collection of the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art.00Exhibition: City Arts Centre, Edinburgh, UK (04.06. - 02.10.2022).00 |
