In comparison with many who write about contemporary art, Hare is never self indulgent or wilfully obscure – there is no bogus theorising to be found here. From the Foreword by ALEXANDER MOFFAT

Alan Davie • Eduardo Paolozzi • William Turnbull • Janet Boulton • Ian Hamilton Finlay • Joan Eardley • Anthony Hatwell • Colquhoun and MacBryde • Boyle Family • Jack Knox • Barbara Rae • Lys Hansen • Joyce Cairns • Doug Cocker • John Kirkwood • Steven Campbell • Ken Currie • Peter Howson • Henry Kondracki • Paul Reid • Iain Robertson • Douglas Gordon

This book is a wide-ranging exploration of Scottish art and artists by one of Scotland's leading art historians. Navigating the intricacies of aesthetic debate with attitude and aplomb, Bill Hare examines the historical forces that have shaped Scottish art. His elegant, approachable writings are a treasure-house of informed discourse.

Illuminating and perennially relevant, these essays offer stimulating perspectives and nuanced insights into the confluence of passion, mystery and myth that lies at the heart of the best of Scottish art.
