Scottish Art - Online Exhibition
THE SCOTTISH EXHIBITION.
Richard Taylor Fine Art are pleased to offer this stunning exhibition of a selection of our current Scottish art. The majority are by Scottish artists and some of Scotland by British artists have snuck in. We have long been in love with Scottish art and often holiday near Edinburgh in order to tour the many wonderful art galleries such as the National Gallery, Portrait Gallery, Gallery of Modern Art and of course Kelvingrove in Glasgow to see the stunning Glasgow Boys and Girls paintings.
We have paintings by several of the Glasgow Boys including a beautiful Stuart Park floral and two atmospheric Robert MacAulay Stevenson paintings. We are also delighted to have a stunning portrait by Glasgow Girl Norah Neilson Grey, a wide selection of Hendersons, Edinburgh artists William Gillies and Patrick Adam and also several fantastic William Gear paintings. In addition to this we have lovely Houston landscapes, a self-portrait by Helen Mackenzie and many more. In fact there’s too many to mention them all so grab a coffee, enjoy browsing the exhibition and drop us an email at info@richardtaylorfineart if you would like one of these beauties for your wall.

Glasgow School
The late nineteenth century developments in Scottish art are associated with the Glasgow School, a term that is used for a number of loose groups based around the city. The first and largest group, active from about 1880, were theGlasgow Boys, including James Guthrie (1859–1930), Joseph Crawhill (1861–1913), George Henry (1858–1943) and E.A. Walton (1860–1922). Other members of this loose coalition of the Glasgow School included David Gauld, EA Hornel, Arthur Melville, James Whitelaw Hamilton, James MacGillivray, Thomas Morton, James Stuart Park and Robert MacAulay Stevenson.
They reacted against the commercialism and sentimentality of earlier artists, particularly represented by the Royal Academy, were often influenced by French painting and incorporated elements of Impressionism andrealism, and have been credited with rejuvenating Scottish art, making Glasgow a major cultural centre.
Prior to this of course were Scottish Glasgow artists such as the Hendersons- Joseph, John and Joseph Morris Henderson, for whom we have a separate exhibition.
Edinburgh School
The group of artists connected with Edinburgh, most of whom had studied at Edinburgh College of Art during or soon after the First World War, became known as the Edinburgh School. They were influenced by French painters and the St. Ives School and their art was characterised by use of vivid and often non-naturalistic colour and the use of bold technique above form. Members included William Gillies(1898–1973), who focused on landscapes and still life and Patrick Adam (1852-1929) who studied under McTaggart.
Kirkcudbright is known as an artist’s town in Scotland, home to a rich artistic history. Noteable artists include E.A, Hornel,. Jessie m King and her husband E.A. Taylor, along with Charles Oppenheimer. The town has been a haven for artists for over 200 years, attracting painters due to the quality of the light and the close knit community.
