There was no photography allowed, but the @natgalleriessco exhibition on British Realist painting in the 1920s and 1930s is exceptional- and this piece was a clear highlight. Gerald Leslie Brockhurst's By the Hills from 1939 depicts one of the periods most celebrated debutantes. He really captures her refinement and dignify! When it was first shown there were rumours that her lips were painted with real lipstick. Love it! 👄 . . . #TrueToLife #Realism #Realist #arthistory 1920 #1930 #SNGMA #ModernArt #BritishArt #art #painting #GeraldLeslieBrockhurst #debutante #lipstick #cosmetics #exhibition #instaart #portrait #portraiture #British (à Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art)
A detail from one of my favourite paintings at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art. J.D. Fergusson's 'Night' from 1905 depicts the Bastille Day celebrations in Dieppe. We note his inspiration from Whistler's Nocturnes too- I can really get lost in the atmosphere of this painting! 😍 . . . #art #JDFergusson #painting #ScottishArt #Colourist #ScottishColourist #Dieppe #BastilleDay #modernart #Whistler #Nocturne #detail #tb #paint #modern #isntadaily #sngma #Edinburgh #Scotland #gallery #arthistory #artwork #artoftheday (à Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art)
Checking out the Karla Black and Kishio Suga exhibition at @natgalleriessco. Not sure about Black, but I took a real interest in Suga's work! This piece, Interconnected Spaces from 2016, was all about the tension and balance between natural objects in internal spaces. Really interesting and a bit different! 🌏 . . . #SNGMA #Edinburgh #KishioSuga #contemporaryart #art #exhibition #nature #balance #interior #exterior #ecology #ecologicalart #Japan #ANewOrder #monoha #SugaandBlack #instadaily (à Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art)
"She was the most important person in my life at the time... There was a sense of futility about it all disappearing into the void and I just wanted to pin something down that would defy time, so it wouldn't all just go off into thin air." Frank Auerbach's touching comment on this 1961 portrait of his companion Estella West. 🔲🔳 #FrankAuerbach #EstellaWest #SNGMA #Edinburgh #Auerbach #art #painting #impasto #portrait #instadaily #figurative #scottishgalleryofmodernart #quote #instaquote (à Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art)
Picasso's portrait of his second wife Jacquelin Roque, whom he painted over 400 times. This particular painting was painted towards the end of Picasso's life in 1969, when the artist was nearly 90 and the muse was 42. 🎨 #PabloPicasso #JacquelineRoque #painting #portraiture #abstraction #SNGMA #Edinburgh #ModernArt #Picasso (à Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art)
