Glasgow Boys Masterpieces of Art

Description

A group of primarily Scottish artists (mainly William York Macgregor, Joseph Crawhall, George Henry, Edward Atkinson Hornel, Sir John Lavery and Arthur Melville), the Glasgow Boys were active around the turn of the 20th Century. Though they painted in a number of different styles, they are connected by their rejection of classic Victorian painting. Inspired by the luminous techniques of James McNeil Whistler, they harnessed Impressionistic brushwork and livid realism in their work, trying new methods and everyday settings to create stunning works of art. With over 100 images, and broad introduction, this is a fine addition to Flame Tree's ever-increasing series on painting and illustration, Masterpieces of Art.

From Manga, to Anatomy, Alphonse Mucha to beautiful deluxe journals, FLAME TREE STUDIO has created hundreds of high quality illustrated books, calendars and notebooks in art and music related formats. The Masterpieces of Art titles offer a wide cultural perspective on art from America, Europe and Asia, mainly in the painted and graphic arts.
