Exploring the development of Elizabeth Blackadder's art in all its richness, this revised edition of Duncan Macmillan's 1999 book expands the account of an important artist and her significant body of work. With her oeuvre ranging through still life, landscapes and flower painting, Elizabeth Blackadder (1931-2021) was one of the best known and respected artists in the British painting tradition. The first woman to be elected to both the Royal Academy and the Royal Scottish Academy, she exhibited widely from the 1960s and her work has been reproduced extensively. Updated to include new imagery, but including The Lily (1999), an original etching produced especially for the book's first edition, Duncan Macmillan's expert text is essential reading for Blackadder's legion of fans.
Duncan Macmillan is Professor Emeritus of the History of Scottish Art at the University of Edinburgh, art critic for The Scotsman and author of numerous books including widely acclaimed Scottish Art: 1460-2000 (2000) and Scotland's Shrine: The Scottish National War Memorial (2014).
