atalogue from January 2015 exhibition celebrating 100 years since William Crosbie was born.
This catalogue marks a significant anniversary for one of Scotland’s greatest painters and the beginning of the Gallery’s representation of the artist’s estate and legacy.Glasgow painter William Crosbie had a fine, enquiring mind, was deeply read and immersed in the liberal arts; he had great technical gifts and was happy to apply these far beyond the confines of studioand easel but at the same time he recognised that a painter needed to paint and to exhibit. This determination to be engaged with the hurlyburly and a prodigious work ethic have left much to be rediscovered and celebrated in the centenary year of his birth.
