Introducing the Glasgow Boys

Walsh, Jean2010
Book
The Glasgow Boys were true artistic pioneers pursuing naturalist subject matter with strong, clean fresh colours. This exhibition looks at their body of work from 1880 until 1900 when it was at its most innovative and exciting. The Glasgow Boys are some of Scotland's best-loved artists. Among the many well-known names, perhaps the most famous are Sir James Guthrie, Sir John Lavery, and EA Walton. When the Glasgow Boys were at the height of their careers, in the 1880s and 1890s, they were the most important group of artists in Britain. They pioneered new styles, ranging from earthy rustic realism to avant-garde symbolism, and creating daring and striking paintings that were praised in equal measure at home and abroad.
