Né en 1959 à Édimbourg, Peter Doig a grandi à Trinidad et au Canada. À l'âge de 18 ans, il s'installe à Londres où il suit des études artistiques dans différentes écoles : d'abord à la School of Art de Wimbledon de 1979 à 1980 puis à la St. Martin School of Art de 1980 à 1983. Après un séjour de trois ans au Canada il reprend en 1989 des études à la Chelsea School of Art où il reçoit une Maitrise en Arts. Une exposition à la Whitechapel Art Gallery en 1991 lui vaut rapidement une reconnaissance sur la scène internationale. Il vit depuis 2002 à Trinidad. Peinture de grand format, en dehors de toute référence conceptuelle et loin d'un post-expressionnisme abstrait américain, l'œuvre de Peter Doig s'inspire des Romantiques allemands, du symbolisme de Munch ou du naturalisme d'Edward Hopper. Fasciné par les espaces immenses où le rapport de l'homme à la nature est constamment en jeu, Peter Doig peint souvent des lieux sauvages, indéfinis, abandonnés, que l'homme traverse, laissant un signe de sa présence : canoës vides, maisons de travailleurs saisonniers, silhouettes solitaires devant des brumes flottantes.

Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The history of Scottish art which we can take to mean the visual art produced within the modern political boundary of Scotland since the earliest times, forms a distinctive tradition within British and European art. It may be considered to begin with early carvings and artifacts that can date from Neolithic through Bronze Age and Iron Age artifacts, particularly ornamental gold objects, and the religious carvings and illuminated manuscripts of the medieval period and continuing down to modern times. Burghead Bull, Moray,circa 7th C. CE. published 1867 A replica of the Hilton of Cadboll Stone.Pictish decorative carved stone balls or petrospheres date from the late Neolithic to possibly Bronze Age to the Iron Age and are mainly found in Scotland. Carved Stone Balls are around 4000 years old, and nearly all have been found in north-east Scotland, the majority in Aberdeenshire. A similar distribution to that of Pictish symbols led to the early suggestion that Carved Stone Balls are Pictish artefacts. By the late twentieth century a total of 411 have been found, the core distribution also reflects that of the Recumbent stone circles in Scotland. As objects they are very easy to transport and a few have been found on Iona, Skye, Harris, Uist, Lewis, Arran, Hawick, Wigtownshire and fifteen from Orkney, five of which were found at the Neolithic village of Skara Brae and one at the Dunadd hillfort. The balls were prestige objects used in ceremonial gatherings The possible use of the balls as oracles has been suggested. The way in which the ball came to rest could be interpreted as a message from the gods or an answer to a question. The lack of balls found in graves may indicate that t...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=9347404 ... Read more

From the Publisher
"Mackintosh made his name as Scotland's most innovative turn-of-the-century architect, but he was also central to the Glasgow School of elegant, idiosyncratic Art Nouveau, whose artists found renown among similarly innovative European artists before they were accepted in his homeland. Floral still lifes, architectural studies, landscapes, and images that edge over from the semi-representational to the wholly decorative populate this calendar. They include Wave Pattern-Green, Black, and Pink; Grey Iris; Faded Roses; and In Fairyland.¶ 12 x 13" wall calendar (opens to 12 x 26") with twelve full-color reproductions. ISBN: 0-7649-3083-4.
