At the end of the 19th century, a group of young Glasgow-based painters established an international reputation for realism and plein-air landscape painting. Led by James Guthrie, John Lavery, Arthur Melville, George Henry, and E. A. Hornel, the Glasgow Boys, as they came to be known, shared an enthusiasm for strong, fresh colors, naturalistic subject matter, and a willingness to travel outside Scotland for subjects and settings. Their enthusiasm for naturalism was equaled only by their dislike of the Scottish arts establishment. In this widely acclaimed book, Roger Billcliffe describes not only the work of the individual artists but also their rejection by local collectors and officialdom before European success caused their work to become much in demand. First published 20 years ago, the book rekindled interest in the group and their work. Now redesigned with more than 200 illustrations in color, it introduces the collective to a new generation of readers and collectors.

History & Criticism

The Glasgow Style is the name given to the work of a group of young designers and architects working in Glasgow from 1890–1914. At its centre were four young friends who had trained at Glasgow School of Art; two architects and two artists – Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Herbert MacNair, Margaret Macdonald and Frances Macdonald – who were simply known by their friends and contemporaries as ‘The Four’. Their work was a personal vision in the new international style of the 1890s, Art Nouveau, and is perhaps best known for Mackintosh’s architecture and furniture. But at the root of this new style was a graphic language which all four shared. Charles Rennie Mackintosh and the Art of The Four presents the most coherent story to date of this important group, concentrating on the entirety of their artistic imagery and output, far beyond the best known work of the 1890s, and charting the constantly changing relationships between the artists and their work.

In this study, Roger Billcliffe not only treats the individual artists of the Glasgow Shool of Painting comprehensively, but also demonstrates that, as a group, the Glasgow Boys were not an isolated, local phenomenon but part of what can now be seen as a much wider tradition. Since this book's first publication in 1988, their reputation has been restored, firmly locating them at the forefront of art's first international movement.'A scholarly, comprehensive and splendidly illustrated study'. The Times 'For serious lovers or collectors of late-nineteenth-century British art, The Glasgow Boys must be seen as a vital addition to the bookshelf.' Spectator 'A beautiful production with an easy narrative style... Roger Billcliffe's credentials are distinguished and so is this book.' Arts Review 'Strongly recommended.' Sunday Telegraph
