Panel Five moves the focus into the twentieth century and features two key leaders and two important events in the development of socialism in Glasgow.Why do you think oils were chosen for these paintings?
The artist worked by creating eight large-scale cartoons to work out the content for each panel and the ways in which sources of light would affect the characters and objects.
