The ‘Classical Edinburgh’ exhibition (above) opens today at the City Art Centre.
Classical Edinburgh explores and examines the changes that have taken place in half a century of development which has seen the neo-classical New Town transform from an area of refined respectability to an integral part of a bustling cosmopolitan city.
Using Edwin Smith’s black and white images published in ‘The Making of Classical Edinburgh’ (1966) as a starting point, Colin McLean embarked on re-shooting and re-interpreting these seminal images.
As part of this fine exhibition you can also see a gallery of local photographer’s photos – the result of a recent public competition sponsored by Jessops.
There are eighteen fantastic photographs to view, including one by West Pilton’s Anne Conrad. Anne’s photograph, ‘India Street Short Cut!’ is below.
The exhibition is well worth a visit. It runs until 8 March … and it’s free!
Principal winner, Don Munro, The Scottish National Gallery at Night.
