A unique insight into the ways in which one of today's leading
artists is inspired by great works of the past. In 16 emphatically
modern new paintings, renowned artist, Alison Watt, responds to the
remarkable delicacy of the female portraits by eighteenth-century
Scottish portraitist, Allan Ramsay. Watt's new works are
particularly inspired by Ramsay's much-loved portrait of his wife,
along with less familiar portraits and drawings. Watt shines a
light on enigmatic details in Ramsay's work and has created
paintings which hover between the genres of still life and
portraiture. In conversation with curator Julie Lawson, Watt
discusses how painters look at paintings, explains why Ramsay
inspired her, and provides unique insight into her own creative
process. Andrew O'Hagan responds to Watt's paintings with a new
work of short fiction and art historian Tom Normand's commentary
explores further layers of depth to our understanding of both
artists.
