Adam Bruce Thomson: The Quiet Path


Add your own review!

Overview

Adam Bruce Thomson (1885-1976) was one of the most quietly impactful artists of his generation. Born in Edinburgh, he was among the earliest intake of students to train at the newly established Edinburgh College of Art. He went on to have a long-running teaching career at the College, supporting and encouraging successive cohorts. In his own practice, Thomson worked across a range of media, producing etchings, drawings, watercolours and oil paintings. A committed member of several artist-led societies, he exhibited widely and was well-respected by his peers. To date, however, his contribution to twentieth-century Scottish art remains largely unexplored. AUTHOR: Dr Helen E. Scott is Curator of Fine Art at the City Art Centre in Edinburgh. Since 2013 she has been responsible for developing the City of Edinburgh Council's collection of Scottish art, as well as researching and curating temporary exhibitions. She specialises in Scottish art of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Previously, she worked as Collections Manager of the Wilhelmina Barns-Graham Trust. She holds a degree in Art History from the University of St Andrews, and completed her PhD there in 2009. She has written for a variety of art historical books and journals, and is author of the monographs Edwin G. Lucas: An Individual Eye (2018) and Mary Cameron: Life in Paint (2019).
