Season 1

In the first programme, Lachlan explores Scotland's earliest art.

The 18th century heralded the greatest blossoming of Scottish artistry in its history.

Artist Lachlan Goudie explores how, at the turn of the 19th century, Scotland's artists challenged the traditions they had inherited and, embracing new ways of seeing and painting from the Continent, revolutionised Scottish art.

The climactic episode of the series explores how, over the last 100 years, Scottish art has wrestled as never before with questions of identity and exploded like a visual firecracker of different ideas and styles.
