The Scottish Colourists

Who were the Scottish Colourists and what was their contribution to European art in the first three decades of the 20th century? This exhibition of approximately 30 paintings showcases the work of Francis Campbell Boileau Cadell, John Duncan Fergusson, George Leslie Hunter and Samuel John Peploe. Their vivid works were inspired by Whistler, Manet, Matisse and Cézanne, as well as artistic traditions closer to their Scottish homeland. They sought out subjects that pulsated with light and color, painting in the South of France, Paris and on the Scottish island of Iona, famous for its white sands and turquoise seas. In the studio they produced still lifes which, like their landscapes, show a mastery of dazzling color and pattern.
