Gray sketches go on display
Alasdair Gray was at the University of Edinburgh Talbot Rice Gallery to launch an exhibition of his work.
The gallery is displaying original sketches by the author which helped bring to life some of his best-known books, and features illustrations used in critically acclaimed novels such as Lanark (1981), Poor Things (1992) and Old Men In Love (2007).
The exhibition coincides with the launch of A Life in Pictures, an extensive visual biography of the Glasgow-born writer, and a display of Gray's portraits at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art in Edinburgh.
Gray trained as an artist at Glasgow School of Art from 1952 to 1957, and has worked with both pictures and text ever since.
