Scottish Colourists
Scottish group of painters active between 1910 and 1930. The name was applied posthumously to S. J. Peploe, Leslie Hunter (1877–1931) and F. C. B. Cadell (1883–1937) by T. J.

Scottish Colourists
Scottish group of painters active between 1910 and 1930. The name was applied posthumously to S. J. Peploe, Leslie Hunter (1877–1931) and F. C. B. Cadell (1883–1937) by T. J. Honeyman in his study of 1950; later it was extended to include the work of J. D. Fergusson. The Scottish Colourists were the natural successors of the Glasgow Boys, whose free brushwork and instinctive use of colour formed the basis of their early styles. All four Colourists worked or trained abroad: Hunter visited Paris in 1904 and worked briefly as an illustrator in San Francisco until the earthquake of 1906; Peploe studied in Paris from 1894 at the Académie Julian and the Académie Colarossi; Cadell was in Paris from 1899 to 1903, which included a period spent at the Académie Julian, and in Munich in 1907; and Fergusson, painting in France from the 1890s, settled in Paris c. 1907.  (hide)
