Lachlan Goudie: The Story of Scottish Art

About Lachlan Goudie: The Story of Scottish Art

In a passionate and personal account, brimming with fascinating characters and historical events, discover how creativity shaped Scotland’s past, its culture and its destiny. Lachlan will reveal how Scotland’s artists and craftsmen created work that influenced and responded to the aesthetic movements transforming the global course of art history. It’s a tale of radicals and visionaries, artists with an international mind-set and a bold sense of their own cultural background, who resolved to create work at the forefront of Western Art and culture.

Lachlan Goudie is an artist, author and broadcaster who wrote and presented the landmark BBC television series ‘The Story of Scottish Art’.

Ticket price includes entry to The Scottish Colourists: Radical Perspectives after the talk.
