Werner, Michael: Peter Doig No Foreign Lands.  Exhibition: Edinburgh, National Galleries of Scotland and Montreal, Museum of Fine Arts, 2013. 224 pages, with around 200 illustrations. Hardback. 29 x 25cms. Examines the Scottish artist Peter Doig's (b.1959) expansive oeuvre, and considers, in depth, the motifs, themes and conceptual keystones behind his paintings, from the past thirteen years. Includes over 200 paintings and works on paper, including previously unpublished new works created during his time in Trinidad. Monumental in scale, and tropical in colour, these works invite comparison with a great tradition of colourists from Gauguin to Matisse, Bonnard and Hopper. The catalogue accompanies an exhibition now open at the Scottish National Gallery, in conjunction with the Edinburgh Art Festival 2013 - the first major exhibition for the artist in his country of birth.£ 40.00
