The Glasgow School of Painting
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

The Glasgow School of Painting (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from The Glasgow School of Painting As this volume (which is the first of a projected series dealing with modern schools of painting) has been written by one Glasgow painter and prefaced by another, by their own wish no examples of the work of either are included herein.

The Glasgow Boys
At the end of the 19th century, a group of young Glasgow-based painters established an international reputation for realism and plein-air landscape painting.

Their enthusiasm for naturalism was equaled only by their dislike of the Scottish arts establishment. In this widely acclaimed book, Roger Billcliffe describes not only the work of the individual artists but also their rejection by local collectors and officialdom before European success caused their work to become much in demand. First published 20 years ago, the book rekindled interest in the group and their work. Now redesigned with more than 200 illustrations in color, it introduces the collective to a new generation of readers and collectors.
