 er years grafting at Lees Boot Factory\, he&rsquo\;s off to the Glasgow Sc
 hool of Art\, to his future. On his first day he will meet another Robert\
 , a quiet man with loose dark curls&mdash\;and never leave his side. Toget
 her they will spend every penny and every minute devouring Glasgow&mdash\;
 its botanical gardens\, the Barras market\, a whole hidden city&mdash\;all
  the while loving each other behind closed doors. With the world on the br
 ink of war\, their unrivalled talent will take them to Paris\, Rome\, Lond
 on. They will become stars as the bombs fall\, hosting wild parties with t
 he likes of Lucian Freud\, Francis Bacon\, and Elizabeth Smart. But the br
 ightest stars burn fastest. Stunningly reimagined\, The Two Roberts is a p

 a love letter to MacBryde and Colquhoun\, the almost-forgotten artists who
