Here are details of a smashing Scottish Art Exhibition, which is coming up in London. The Fleming Collection, the London home of Scottish Art, 13 Berkeley Street, Mayfair, will be exhibiting Divided Selves: The Scottish Self-Portrait from the 17th Century to Present Day, from 20th June until 2nd September 2006.

This survey of Scottish Self-Portraiture will examine the concepts of identity of both the individual and a nation. The role of the artist, their acceptance into society, the function of self-portraiture in their work, along with the psychology of the Self will be examined alongside issues of social status, gender, national and cultural identities within a specific Scottish art historical context.

This exhibition is a collaboration between Talbot Rice Gallery, Edinburgh and The Fleming Collection. It is currently open to the public at Talbot Rice Gallery, see www.flemingcollection.co.uk for further details.
