This module will explore subjects, issues, and themes in recent Scottish art. From an analysis of post-war abstraction, it will proceed to be a close study of the renaissance of figurative painting during the 1980s. Subsequent developments in Conceptualism, in the 1990s, will be examined in depth while the whole will be set inside the critical debates of modernism and post-modernism in the contemporary period.
