The Scottish Colourists-Part 1
This post follows a visit to the Dovecot Studios , an art gallery in Edinburg h, 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. Paris-Plage by S.J.
