The Edinburgh School

The Edinburgh School was a group of influential Scottish artists active mainly from the 1920s to the 1950s. They focused on a modern style of painting characterized by geometric shapes, bold colors, and a sense of structure, often influenced by Cubism and Post-Impressionism. Their work aimed to blend traditional Scottish themes with innovative artistic ideas, emphasizing clarity, order, and design. The group helped shape modern British art and promoted a distinctive Scottish artistic identity, combining craftsmanship with modern aesthetic principles.
