Lachlan Goudie: The Story of Scottish Art
Lachlan Goudie sets the 20th century Colourists in context as he takes you on a fast fling through 5,000 years of Scottish art at Dovecot Studios on 9th June.
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.
