'Consider the Lilies'

Consider the Lilies is a celebration of the City's collection of Scottish painting from 1910-1980. The rehang of the exhibition includes works, such as the beautiful portrait, 'My Wife', by James Gunn, which were unable to be displayed during the opening show.

Consider the Lilies is the title of a painting in the exhibition by Peter Collins. The pot of three lilies represents Dundee's coat of arms, which symbolises the Virgin Mary, the city's patron saint. Dundee has an artistic heritage of which to be proud. Its unique position, situated on one of the most beautiful estuaries in Europe, has long been a source of creative inspiration. Many of the artists in the exhibition, such as Alberto Morrocco and James McIntosh Patrick, strongly identified with the City.

Consider the Lilies is a partnership project with the National Galleries of Scotland. An exhibition catalogue is available from The McManus Shop, priced £9.99.
