Robert Stewart's Curious Orange

I wrote about Glasgow Open House Art Festival in yesterday's Herald.
Basically it is what it says - a festival which sees doors being flung open all over Glasgow and the public being invited in for a nosey at the art on show.
I first heard about the festival through Keith Moore, who is an occasional contributor to the Herald's arts pages.
Keith told me he ages ago that he and his wife, Sally, were planning to show the work of leading 20th century Scottish designer and teacher, Robert Stewart, in their house over the course of a weekend.
Well that weekend is this weekend. Keith explained his reasons for flinging his front door to random strangers in this piece he wrote last week for The Herald.
I was dropping off my nieces just across the street so managed to hop in to see it today. I've seen Stewart's work a bit but there's something so fresh about the work Keith and Sally are showing. They have all been borrowed from the Stewart family, with whom they've become friendly.
This vivid Stewart design for Liberty of London is called Ardentinny and dates back to 1951-1954. It was the era of The Festival of Britain - an important event in the post-war era in that it seemed to signal the beginning of the end of the wartime austerity under which Britain had laboured for more than a decade. It has been reproduced by Glasgow School of Art Digital Design Studio. Stewart taught at the art school for many years, influencing countless artists and designers.
Both his designs and his exquisite drawings bear the hallmark of a true genius - and someone who just couldn't stop working even if he wanted to.
Tomorrow is the last day of the festival.
