Such an interesting talk this afternoon @nationalgalleriesscot 🎨
Art historian Leslie Primo @artfirstprimo speaking about how foreign artists, like John de Critz, invented British art.
Different words belong to different times, in the 16th C they would have been termed 'strangers' not 'foreign'
So very sorry to hear this 💔

What a treat! Screening: Paper Portraits @nationalgalleriesscot 🎥Community collab w/ Gerda Stevenson. A poetic tribute to the millworkers. Pencuik paper was a global commodity. It fuelled Edinburgh's publishing industry, Walter Scott, RL Stevenson, Turner used it 📚 @community_arts_penicuik
Kind of harrowing for those of us with overactive imaginations 💥
