Join Head of Sale Chantal de Prez as she takes a closer look at '10 Scottish Artists You Should Know' featuring in our February 2025 edition of The Art Edit.
Amongst these ten artists you might find celebrated household names, as well as those whose work is less familiar. All, however, made an interesting and significant contribution to the story of Scottish art.
Arranged chronologically, these artists’ careers tell a wider story about Scotland’s artistic trajectory, from traditional academic portraiture to the formative influence of continental artistic exchange – particularly with France - catalysing coast-to-coast schools of innovation including The Glasgow Boys and the Edinburgh School, which, in turn, laid the groundwork for later twentieth-century interpretations of modern Scottish life.
