Earnest’ ‘Earnie’ Hood was born in Edinburgh but made his career in Glasgow, after training at Glasgow School of Art. He was a keen exhibitor at the Glasgow Arts Club and is best known for his atmospheric cityscape and industrial scenes. This striking painting shows Glasgow’s Pinkston Power Station, seen from across the roofs and chimney pots from the south. When it was built in 1900 it was the largest cooling tower in Europe, looming over the city around. During the war it was given a camouflage paint to make it more difficult for the Luftwaffe to spot, traces of which were still visible when the station was demolished in 1978.
