The subjects of Joan Eardley's drawing and painting were the urban poor of Glasgow, and the land/seascape around the fishing village of Catterline near Aberdeen. Her career lasted barely 15 years when she died in 1963, aged just 42.
"These two contrasting strands are the focus of this exhibition, which looks in detail at her working process... draws on a remarkable archive of sketches and photographs which remains largely unknown and unpublished.
The exhibition also features many loans from public and private collections, allowing the viewer to trace specific developments between the photographs, the drawings and the finished paintings."
