Peter Howson (1958 – )
Peter Howson was born in London and moved with his family to Glasgow when he was four years old. He studied at Glasgow School of Art: a training interrupted by two years spent travelling and working at various jobs, including a time in the army. His works in the Collection are primarily of a working class masculine world: boxers, bodybuilders, and many from the sad world of 'dossers' who lived in the area of his studio in Glasgow.
