Pioneering Scot features in exhibition putting focus on overlooked artists
The Fine Art Society in Scotland is marking its 150th anniversary with a special exhibition that highlights historically overlooked artists, including pioneering Scottish sculptor Phyllis Bone, who created all but one of the animals on the Scottish National War Memorial. The show features works by female artists such as Anne Redpath, Betty Blandino, and Ishbel Myerscough, whose monumental piece *Kitchen Table* serves as a contemporary centerpiece, alongside a striking painting by Clare Atwood exploring queer and theatrical history. The exhibition also includes early 19th-century etchings by James McNeill Whistler, a rare landscape by Pre-Raphaelite painter John Brett, and works by modern British artists Graham Sutherland, Jacob Epstein, and Eduardo Paolozzi, as well as decorative arts by Augustus Pugin and a ceramic vessel by Philip Eglin recently shortlisted for the Loewe Foundation Craft Prize.
