This beautifully illustrated catalogue is the first publication on Hugh Ramsay in more than 25 years, and sheds light on the remarkable body of work he created in his tragically short life. Featuring new research, Ramsay’s insights as a portraitist are revealed through his paintings, works on paper and sketchbooks, while personal letters highlight his close bonds with family and friends as well as his charisma and humour. Though Ramsay’s brilliant career was cut short at 28 years of age, his story is one of great courage, tenacity and artistic achievement.
