Alexander Gowdie at the Paisley Museum
August 18, 2008
Great news for art lovers and connouisserus of 20th century Scottish painters. Paisley Museum is hosting the first major retrospective of the work of Alexander Gowdie.
Born in Paisley in 1933, Gowdie studied at the Glasgow School of Art and although best known for his portraiture, he had a remarkable breadth of styles and subjects. His series of paintings inspired by Brun’s Tam o’Shanter were particularly inspired.
It should prove to be a colourful exhibition as Alexander Gowdie painted with great panache. He used to say, “Joie de Vivre! that’s what I paint!”
Joie de Vivre – the Art of Alexander Gowdie (free admission) is at the Paisley Museum from 19 September to 13 December 2008.
