Michael Sangster

’...I adhere to the perhaps rather unfashionable view that the pursuit of beauty is one of the great goals of all art. ...I think we need to remind ourselves that the appreciation of beauty – in whatever form it manifests itself – has a moral dimension. The beauty captured in Michael Sangster’s quite lovely study of a chair, plate and bird, says an awful lot about our world and how we should cherish it.’

Alexander McCall Smith, January 2013.
