Menonday Art Vibe; The Glasgow Boys Intro
The Glasgow Boys - and yes, there was a Glasgow Girls movement, too! - were very important to the progress of art, not just in Scotland but internationally. I have shared one or two painters from this art school earlier, but today, before presenting three of my personal favourites, I would invite you to watch this very short précis film from the National Gallery collection to get a better feel for what it was all about.

ReplyDeleteInteresting video on the Glasgow Boys! Take care, have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this introduction to the Glasgow Boys, YAM. I had not known of them before and I am very pleased to make their acquaintance. It’s a fine little video that was produced about them. One could live a thousand lives and still barely scratch the surface of what there is to know, and in this time of political ugliness around the world, a glimpse of past beauty and creativity is exceptionally welcome.

Beautiful styles by the Glasgow Boys...the naturalist style really speaks to me.
ReplyDeleteI always learn something new from your posts, Yamini. Thank you so much. Quite interesting how this group came into existence, their inclination to paint in a naturalistic way, going against the traditions, how they challenged the art establishment leading to modern art.
