BOOK: The Art of Elizabeth Blackadder

Celebrate the opening of Elizabeth Blackadder: A Life in Colour with a copy of our exhibition book.

The Art of Elizabeth Blackadder by Duncan Macmillan is the definitive monograph celebrating the life, evolution, and legacy of Dame Elizabeth Blackadder (1931–2021). As one of Britain’s most revered twentieth-century artists, Blackadder made history as the first woman elected to both the Royal Academy and the Royal Scottish Academy.

Macmillan, an eminent historian of Scottish art, provides a lively and authoritative chronicle of how she revitalised traditional genres of still life, landscapes, and flower painting into a deeply personal, modern visual language.
