Aitken Dott & Son, Barbara Balmer Exhibition, Edinburgh, 28th April-10th May 1975
Balmer's soft tonality and hard outline is indebted to early Italian art, which she first encountered in 1973 with the assistance of a Travelling Scholarship. This work was exhibited two years after Balmer's first visit to Italy, and is replete with stillness and clarity that characterised her subsequent work.
