Episode Details

Fifty years after his death, Scottish modernist painter Stanley Cursiter is finally getting the recognition he deserves, with a major exhibition celebrating his bold, evolving style—from Futurist experiments to haunting Orkney landscapes. Featuring 25 rarely seen works loaned from collectors and family, including his personal favorite “The Gray Room,” the show traces his journey as an art pioneer who reshaped Scottish taste by championing European avant-garde masters like Van Gogh and Matisse. Once director of Scotland’s National Galleries for 18 years, Cursiter was also a Renaissance man—curious, adaptable, even switching hands to paint due to arthritis—and his legacy lives on through this vibrant tribute to a visionary who dared to see art differently.
