Review: New gallery Beautiful Materials at The Avenues shopping centre in Newton Mearns, Glasgow, is hosting a show looking at the human desire to be loved.

Accompanying the recent exhibition at The Scottish Gallery in Edinburgh celebrating the Scottish landscape painter James Morrison (1932–2020), this small format hardback book covers 70 years of Morrison’s work.

This beautifully illustrated book explores our enduring fascination with birds, the embodiment of our desires, fears and fantasies depicted in paintings, prints, sculptures and films.

Established in 1963 by Barbara Hulanicki and her husband Stephen Fitz-Simon as Biba Postal Boutique, a small mail order company selling inexpensive clothing for women and children, Biba went on to become the world’s first lifestyle label.

This beautiful compendium of artworks illustrating the links between natural world and artist expression takes readers on a meditative journey.
