The Herald, Thursday December 10, 1998
Raw, vivid, violent. The result of the collaboration between artist and writer is splendid.
Book Description
The Artist in his World presents a selection of more than a decade's work by Ian McCulloch in the medium of print. Typical of his approach to his art, many prints derive from classical themes. Yet they strike a chord in the modern word.
And in an unusual cooperation across artistic boundaries, in his own inimitable style, artist and author Alasdair Gray has produced Eight Poems Written from 2 to 5 August 1998 on Eight Series of Prints by Ian McCulloch.
Both Ian McCulloch and Alasdair Gray view art as having a role to play in contributing to an understanding about the nature of our lives. The content of this book is an example of such artistic endeavour.
