The Glasgow Boys

Through the 1880s and 1890s a collective, which came to be known as the Glasgow Boys, was interpreting and expanding Impressionist and Post-impressionist painting. Their subject matter featured rural, prosaic scenes from in and around Glasgow. Kelvingrove houses the definitive collection of their works, some of which are shown below.

Scottish Colourists

The Scottish Colourists were a group of painters from Scotland whose post-impressionist work was not very highly regarded when it was first exhibited in the 1920s and 1930s due to its highly developed use of colour. It aimed to subvert the classical use of tone and texture in landscape painting. However in the late 20th Century it came to have a formative influence on contemporary Scottish art and culture.
