Beyond Likeness

Beyond Likeness beautifully illustrates 80 artworks by Victoria Crowe. This paperback publication features portraits that include the artist’s family, composer Ronald Stevenson, pioneer medical scientist Dame Janet Vaughan, poet Kathleen Raine, actor Graham Crowden, psychiatris Professor Sir Peter Higgs and many others.

This book was published to accompany the art exhibition of the same name. Written by Victoria, Julie Lawson, Duncan MacMillan and published by the National Galleries of Scotland. This book also tells Crowe’s own story – both professional and personal – through her art. She has developed an approach to portraiture that seeks to do more than record the outward appearance of a person: she aims to represent something of the inner life.
