To Cap It All
Strong, reliable and known for his ability to work in pinpoint crosses from the left, Kenny was a firm fixture in the cup-winning Arsenal and England defences for most of the 1980s.

But off the pitch, the addictive side of his personality threatened to destroy not only his career but his rock-solid family life too. Fans were kept ...

Dominion

Mary Cameron
Mary Cameron: Life in Paint' explores the fascinating story of Cameron?s life and career, charting her creative journey from elegant family portraits to breathtaking Spanish scenes. Mary Cameron (1865-1921) was an artist and woman ahead of her time. Born in Edinburgh, she began her career as a portraitist and genre painter in her native city, before venturing abroad to study in Paris. Foreign travel proved to be an enduring source of inspiration. In 1900 she visited Madrid for the first time, and was captivated by the Spanish culture, people and scenery. Establishing studios in Madrid and Seville, she executed large-scale compositions of traditional peasant life, dramatic bullfights and rural landscapes. Cameron exhibited widely, and her talents were recognised by contemporaries such as John Lavery and Alexander Roche. However, like many female artists of her generation, her name is now little-known. Exhibition: City Art Centre, Edinburgh, UK (02.11.2019-15.03.2020).

In his introductory essay Robert Macfarlane explains that the eerie, involves that form of fear which is felt first as unease then as dread, and it tends to be incited by glimpses and tremors rather than outright attack. Horror specialises in confrontation and aggression; the eerie in intimation and intimidation.? Macfarlane suggests that eerie art has often flourished at times of crisis, as seen in th...
