About the book >.>.> The Glasgow Boys were true artistic pioneers pursuing naturalist subject matter with strong clean fresh colours. They absorbed foreign influences and went on to develop a symbolist style with an emphasis on pattern and design. This brought Scottish art to the forefront of the European avant-garde. Their enthusiasm for pushing the boundaries of art was equalled by their dislike of the Scottish artistic establishment of their day. This definitive exhibition looks at their body of work from 1880 until 1900 when it was at its most innovative and exciting. Celebrating and re-examining the Boys’ vital contribution to the history of Scottish art this book brings together all the major pictures accompanied by insightful specialist commentaries. (MP)
