Scottish Art, 1460-2000 by Duncan Macmillan
Duncan Macmillan's sumptuous story of art in Scotland from the fifteenth century was the first comprehensive on the subject for 40 years when it was first published in 1990. Rapturously received by the critics, it rapidly became regarded as the definitive book on the subject. Now updated to take account of developments in the art world over the last ten years,this new edition, Scottish Art 1460-2000, looks set to emulate its predecessor's success. "An ambitious study that connects Scottish painting to the European tradition over five centuries, while examining with intelligence, wit and imagination the Scottishness of Scottish art. The way in which indigenous originality infiltrates tradition is the theme of this affectionate,committed survey. This book puts Scottish art into a proper perspective and must be seen as the definitive study". (Marina Vaizey, Sunday Times Author). The undisputed expert in his field, Professor Duncan Macmillan is reader in fine art and curator of the Talbot Rice Gallery at the University of Edinburgh. He has written a number of books and is the art critic for The Scotsman.
