Victoria Crowe is one of the United Kingdom’s most distinguished painters. This new publication,timed to coincide with a major display of her work at the City Art Centre in Edinburgh during 2019,gives a fresh insight into her practice from a variety of perspectives. Born in Kingston-on-Thames,and educated at the Royal College of Art in London, Crowe was invited at the age of twenty three tojoin the teaching staff of Edinburgh College of Art by the Head of Drawing and Painting, RobinPhilipson. There followed three decades of teaching at the College, during which time she exhibitedwidely and gained the esteem of her fellow artists and the recognition of private patrons and publicgalleries. Accolades followed. Her 2000 exhibition ‘A Shepherd’s Life’ in Edinburgh met with hugecritical acclaim and subsequently toured the United Kingdom. She was awarded the OBE in 2004and made a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 2010.Equally at home with portraiture, still life or landscape, although her work often defies suchclassification, Crowe’s work takes inspiration from her study of Italian early renaissance painting, aswell as the landscape of the Scottish Borders and the light of Venice and Tuscany. Her practiceencompasses painting, drawing and printmaking, each discipline informing the others, and allimbued with sensuous colour and an exquisite sensitivity to line and tone.
