520			_aPeter Howson was born in London and moved with his family to Prestwick, Ayrshire. He spent a short time as an infantry soldier in the Royal Highland Fusiliers but left to study at the Glasgow School of Art in 1979. His early works are typified by very masculine working class men, most famously in The Heroic Dosser (1987). Later he was the official war artist for the Bosnian civil war in 1993. Here he produced some of his most shocking and controversial work detailing the atrocities which were taking place at the time. Howson was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2009 Birthday Honours.
