Description
In the third quarter of the twentieth century Sir Robin Philipson (1916-92) ranked as one of the most distinguished and prolific artists of the Edinburgh School. He was an essential part of Scotland's art establishment, serving as Secretary, then as President, of the Royal Scottish Academy. As a teacher his entire career was spent within the School of Drawing and Painting of his alma mater, Edinburgh College of Art.0This new study presents a detailed portrait of the man and his art to show how inseparable the two were. It discusses his life as a painter and, for a time, a printmaker. It draws on many archives, including some previously unavailable, to shed new light on his life and, in particular, it details his close involvement with a Borders textile company and an international tapestry studio. The book also tells how art society in Scotland's capital operated over a half century as the narrative tracks friendships, conversations and exhibitions.
