His work is new to me, but I loved seeing Adam Bruce Thomson at scale in Edinburgh’s City Art Centre Edinburgh Museums. In life, not a natural self-publicist, which made me warm to him more. Curator Helen Scott’s new book on him is a thing of beauty. My column The Sunday Post today.
Join us for 'Serenity and Strife: The Art of Robin Philipson' a City Art Centre free lecture to accompany the exhibition ‘Adam Bruce Thomson: The Quiet Path’ - a key painter of the #Edinburgh School.
