As part of the Women Paiting: Scottish Art 1940-1980 project, we have worked with MAP to commission and publish/re-publish a series of texts which relate to the larger project as part of an ongoing MAP mini-series on this theme. The first edition includes a short essay by critic Lauren Dyer-Amazeen on the work of Edinburgh painter Mardi Barrie, two poems written in response to the work of Joan Eardley, by Edwin Morgan and Daisy Lafarge, respectively, and an introduction by Susannah Thompson and Marianne Greated.
