'This is an important book. It reinvigorates old debates and sets up new ones. It is a well informed, energizing read.' Murdo Macdonald, University of Dundee, UK 'Richardson's formidable, provocative and essential work of scholarship comes from a lively and combative mind. This is not a neat chronological overview, despite its four-part division of chapters from 1960 to 2003, but a critical journey across the more literary, conceptual and often ignored territories of Scottish art over the last forty years...One hopes that this book will operate as a kind of catalyst for fresher approaches that, as Richardson himself does, build on the best scholarship but refuse to be beholden to it.... This book is an essential milestone in the history of Scottish visual culture, surely bound to inspire new approaches in the future. ... Highly recommended reading and a triumph.'
