Bridgeton and Dalmarnock in the East End of the City of Glasgow, once the manufacturing and industrial heart of the city, suffered a long period of economic decline between the mid-twentieth and the early twenty-first century. Tens of thousands of jobs were lost and the demolition of factories and tenements created large pockets of vacant and derelict land that remained until the area became the heart of one of the UK's largest regeneration areas just prior to the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games. This collection of original acrylic paintings by the author captures everyday life as it was when the author was a child growing up in the East End of Glasgow. The paintings are comprehensively captioned with snippets of local history. Apart from the occasional painting most of the scenes are from the 1950s and 1960s. Images include famous and historic landmarks such as the Bridgeton Cross Umbrella, the Olympia Building and the Scottish Baronial style, Rutherglen Town Hall. There are also images of buildings, structures and transport of bygone days.

On Location: Drawing the Outdoors
<p><b>A journey through drawings by groundbreaking nineteenth-century artists who left the studio to look outside for inspiration</b></p><p>Featuring over 150 drawings and watercolors by some of the nineteenth century's most celebrated artists, <i>On Location: Drawing the Outdoors</i> investigates a monumental shift in artistic practice: the moment artists stepped outside the studio for inspiration and understanding. From Edouard Manet and William Blake to Paul Cézanne and Caspar David Friedrich, this publication includes works by artists spanning national and regional schools across Europe.</p><p>Guiding readers on an artistic expedition, this publication charts ten trails or thematic pathways through the collection, replicating the thrill of outdoor exploration and encompassing the rich variety of nature's subjects. By tracing patterns of artistic experience, the obstacles and opportunities encountered outside, and the materiality and techniques of nineteenth-century works, the book asks critical questions--what constitutes a landscape, and what does it mean to draw <i>the</i> outdoors rather than to draw <i>while</i> outdoors?--and invites readers to consider these works in the context of contemporary issues of environmentalism, the relationship between art and technology, and more.</p><p>Distributed for the Harvard Art Museums</p><p><b>Exhibition Schedule: </b></p><p><b>Harvard Art Museums, Cambridge, MA</b><br>(September 18, 2026-January 17, 2027)</p>
