The compelling story of over 5,000 years of Scottish art, told by
Lachlan Goudie, renowned contemporary Scottish artist, broadcaster
and presenter of BBC Four's 'The Story of Scottish Art'. This is
the story of how Scotland has defined itself through its art over
the past 5000 years, from the earliest enigmatic Neolithic symbols
etched onto the landscape of Kilmartin Glen to Glasgow's fame as a
centre of artistic innovation today. Lachlan Goudie brings his
perspective and passion as a practising artist and broadcaster to
narrate the joys and struggles of artists across the millennia
striving to fulfil their vision and the dramatic transformations of
Scottish society reflected in their art. The Story of Scottish Art
is beautifully illustrated with the diverse artworks that form
Scotland's long tradition of bold creativity: Pictish carved stones
and Celtic metalwork; Renaissance palaces and chapels; paintings of
Scottish life and landscapes by Horatio McCulloch, David Wilkie and
Joan Eardley; designs by master architect Charles Rennie
Mackintosh; and collage and sculpture by Pop Art pioneer Eduardo
Paolozzi. Lachlan tells the compelling story of how and why these
and many other Scottish masterpieces were created, and the impact
they have had on the world.
