On Aboriginal representation in the Gallery
In recognizing the established intellectual and institutional authority of Aboriginal artists, curators, and academics working in cultural institutions and universities, this volume serves as an important primer on key questions and issues accompanying the changing representational practices of the community cultural center, the public art gallery and the anthropological museum.

John Houston
The first book on Scottish painter John Houston (b.1930) charts his development as a painter across five decades. Renowned for his intense use of colour, he successfully forged a distinct artistic identity while simultaneously lecturing at the Edinburgh College of Art from 1955 to 1989.
Contemporary Painting in Scotland
Contemporary Scottish art gained international recognition in the 1980s, both in terms of the increasing reputation of established artists like Alan Davie, John Bellany, Bruce McLean and Elizabeth Blackadder but also with regard to a number of important emerging painters. Many of the themes of international 'New Painting' in the 1980s - bold figuration, evocative narrative, emphatic technique and poetic atmosphere - are also characteristic of contemporary Scottish art but, as can clearly be seen here, Scottish painting has at last rediscovered its own voice. This timely book describes recent events in contemporary Scottish painting and provides fascinating profiles of 48 notable artists. This is the first major overview of contemporary Scottish painting.
Keith Vaughan
Keith Vaughan (1912-77) was a major figure in post-war British art who is known for his searching portraits of the male nude and his association with the Neo-Romantic painters. This book provides for the first time a definitive, illustrated account of his life and work, exploring his wide-ranging achievement as a modern British artist.
