The Scottish Colourists-Part 1

This post follows a visit to the Dovecot Studios, an art gallery in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Here can be seen the first tranche of a portfolio of images recording the exhibition.

The core of the exhibition centres on four artists known as the Scottish Colourists. These persons are Leslie Hunter (1877-1931), S.J. Peploe (1871-1935), J.D. Fergusson (1874-1961) and F.C.B.Cadell (1883-1937). These artists are deemed to be one of the most talented, experimental and distinctive groups in 20th century British art.They did not emerge as a quartet until relatively late in their respective careers. This occurred when their Glasgow dealer stages the first group show in Paris in 1924 and another the following year in London.
