Dressed to Kill: Fashion, Costume and Dress in Scottish Art

15 Jun, 2013 - 29 Sep, 2013
The exhibition includes portrayals of a whole range of different types of costume, from mundane everyday working clothes to the most elaborate fashionable dress. There is an inevitable focus on the depiction of women and women’s costume but other sections will look at men’s clothing, children’s costume, headgear, working clothes and uniforms. 
Central to the exhibition are the City Art Centre’s two iconic Colourist portraits, J.D. Fergusson’s The Blue Hat and F.C.B. Cadell’s The Black Hat, both showing young women dressed up to the nines in the height of Edwardian fashion. The exhibition will also include works by Allan Ramsay, Henry Raeburn, E.A. Hornel, John Lavery, J.H. Lorimer, John Duncan, Stanley Cursiter, John Bellany, Adrian Wiszniewski, David Williams and Moyna Flannigan
Selected to complement Coming into Fashion, the exhibition is drawn from the City Art Centre’s nationally Recognised collection of Scottish Art and includes paintings, watercolours, drawings, prints, photographs and sculpture. A wide ranging and varied activity and education programme will complement the City Art Centre’s summer exhibitions.
