Down the Quiet Path: In Search of Adam Bruce Thomson
Lecture to accompany the exhibition ‘Adam Bruce Thomson: The Quiet Path’
Adam Bruce Thomson (1885-1976) was one of the most quietly impactful Scottish artists of his generation – a versatile painter, skilled printmaker and dedicated teacher. In this illustrated lecture, Dr Helen Scott traces the little-known story of Thomson’s life and career, exploring key artworks and considering his long-term legacy.
Dr Helen Scott is Curator of Fine Art at the City Art Centre, and author of the new book Adam Bruce Thomson: The Quiet Path (Sansom & Co, 2024).
