In this film, distinguished artist Kenneth Dingwall, one of the pioneers of abstract painting in Scotland, discusses his life and artistic development with art critic Duncan Macmillan.
Trained at Edinburgh College of Art under the largely-figurative painter Sir William Gillies, and at later Athens School of Fine Art. Dingwall saw little interesting or accessible abstract art in Scotland; instead, he sought inspiration in the abstract mark-making he found among the artefacts at the National Museum of Antiquities.
Dingwall went on to enjoy an illustrious career as an artist and educator in the UK and the USA. His work is represented in national and international public collections.
