Following the first volume of Bill Hare’s exploration of Scottish Artists, Scottish Artists in an Age of Radical Change, this new volume, Scottish Art and Artists in Historical and Contemporary Context published by Luath Press will expand on his invaluable contribution to the cultural development of modern and contemporary Scotland.
Joan Eardley, Alan Davies, the Boyle Family, Ken Currie, Anthony Hatwell, Doug Crocker, Jack Knox, Lys Hansen, William Turnbull, Iain Robertson, Douglas Gordon and John Kennedy – these are just some of the artists who Bill Hare explores in both their historical and contemporary contexts.
From body politics to the Athenian way to Scottish artists in Venice, this book reveals the importance and intellectual power this generation of Scottish artists have had over decades through a compilation of in-depth essays and interviews.

Join Bill at Edinburgh’s Central Library for an insightful talk on his new book and the landscape of Scottish art.
