Signatures of Scottish Art: Celebrating 140 Years of The Fine Art Society
This, the year that The Fine Art Society celebrates its 140th anniversary, marks the occasion with the exhibition Signatures of Scottish Art. The show includes 14 important Scottish paintings from the 17th century to the early 1900s. Works by: Henry Ferguson, David Allan, Allan Ramsay, Sir Henry Raeburn, Waller Hugh Paton, William McTaggart, Edward Arthur Walton, John Quinton Pringle, John Duncan, FCB Cadell and James McIntosh Patrick.
The Fine Art Society has had a long-standing relationship with Scotland, having first exhibited here in 1969. A dedicated gallery space in Edinburgh was established from 1973-1992, before the partnership between London and Edinburgh was formally re-established in 2004, when it joined forces with us here on Dundas Street, in the heart of the Georgian New Town. The Fine Art Society in Edinburgh has proved a natural fit with London, enhancing and enlarging the international market for Scottish paintings and sculpture.
Our reputation has been built on the understanding and acquisition of the major artists from the key movements in Scottish art: from the 18th and 19th century portraiture of Allan Ramsay and Sir Henry Raeburn to the pioneers of Scottish landscape painting through to Scottish Impressionism, the Glasgow Boys, the Scottish Colourists and the Edinburgh School. As the history of Scottish art unfolds, so too do the terms that define it. The broadening of 鈥楽cottishness' into the 20th century and the radical redefining of it by the 21st brings about the great variety of artists, their associations and their subjects that we add to our wealth of history.
