Description
In 1985 Angela Catlin’s debut book Natural Light was published with an accompanying exhibition at the Edinburgh Book Festival that subsequently toured Scotland. The 49 portraits of Scottish authors were heralded not only as spellbinding artistic works, but also as a broader encapsulation of a golden era of Scottish literature. Thirty years on, Catlin is revisiting the theme, featuring those seen in the original book such as Alasdair Gray, Jim Kelman and Liz Lochhead, but also casting light on another generation of literary luminaries.
