Description
This gorgeous monograph is focused on a series of works made by by painter and printermaker Barbara Rae over the course of two years, when Covid-19 prevented travel further afield.
The Lammermuir Hills have been an important trade route between Scotland and England for generations, and an effective barrier when necessary. Drawn by the long history of south-eastern Scotland and the many conflicting elements in play in its natural environment — among them wind farms, pylons, forestry plantations, grouse moors and sheep — the distinguished Scottish painter and printmaker Barbara Rae has made numerous studies of these wild expanses. This handsome volume reproduces a wide selection of her intensely colourful images, with an introduction by the art critic Duncan Macmillan, Emeritus Professor of the History of Scottish Art at the University of Edinburgh, and accompanying photographs, maps and historical information.
