  The Scottish Colourists by Roger Billcliffer
This superbly illustrated volume is the first study to consider the work of the four major Scottish Colourists, Peploe, Fergusson, Hunter, Cadell.
The groups of artists know as Scottish Colourists are now recognized worldwide as painters of exceptional originality.
Strong, emotive colors, fluent brushwork, and keen sense of pattern marked their paintings as different from, and more advance than anything to be seen in Britain prior to the appearance of the Vorticists in 1914.

 Background to Scottish Art
Scottish art today follows on from a tradition which started with a group of four Glasgow artists called the Scottish Colourists, Samuel John Peploe, Francis Boileau Caddell, George Leslie Hunter and John Duncan Fergusson.
She was born in 1921 and died in 1963 but most of the work that she is best known for was produced in the last fourteen years of her life.
Her paintings done at Catterline, in particular, show a passion for capturing the atmosphere of the Scottish landscape and she uses paint in a way which reveals the intensity of this passion.

 The Scottish Colourists
Heirs to the Glasgow Boys, the Scottish Colourists comprised four artists, S. Peploe, F. Cadell, Leslie Hunter and J. Fergusson.
Like the Boys, the Colourists absorbed and reworked the strong and vibrant colours of contemporary French painting into a distinctive Scottish idiom during the 1920s and 1930s.
Although they enjoyed only limited commercial and popular success when they were actually exhibiting, the Colourists were rediscovered in the 1980s as a seminal influence on 20th-century Scottish painting and are now highly regarded internationally.

 The Scottish colourists - Brief Article Magazine Antiques - Find Articles
The term Scottish colourists has been applied to four painters who were born in Scotland toward the end of the nineteenth century, spent time in Paris, and created work that has more to do with the modern art of France than that of Scotland.
The show then travels to the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art in Edinburgh, which co-organized the exhibition, from November 4 to January 21, 2001.
The Scottish colourists were internationally known during their lifetimes but their work fell out of favor by World War II, only to be revived in the last twenty years or so.

Scottish group of painters active between 1910 and 1930.
The name was applied posthumously to S. Peploe, Leslie Hunter (1877–1931) and F. Cadell (1883–1937) by T. Honeyman in his study of 1950; later it was extended to include the work of J. 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.

 Scottish Colourists
We looked at the work of the Scottish Colourists, as I thought it was important for the children to be knowledgeable about Scottish artists from the past.
The children helped me set up two Still Life on tables at either side of the classroom (similar to those of Peploe) and they all painted their interpretation of what they saw on the table.
Also, we looked at the portraits the Colourists created, and focussed on the portraits of Fergusson, as the children seemed to really like the bright colours he used.

 The Scottish Colourists
After the Glasgow Boys came a smaller group, who although not recognised in the 1920s and 1930s when they were actually exhibiting, were rediscovered in the 1980s as a seminal influence on 20th-century Scottish painting and are now highly regarded internationally.
Trained in France and consequently borrowing from the strong and vibrant colours of contemporary French painting, they became known as the Scottish Colourists and their main representatives are S. Peploe, F. Cadell, Leslie Hunter and J. Fergusson.
Their works have become familiar particularly through reproductions of their still-lifes and of landscapes such as those of Iona.

 Cadell, Fergusson, Hunter, Peploe, Scottish colourists   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Cadell, Fergusson, Hunter, Peploe, have all influenced me since coming to Scotland.
They capture the vibrance and intensity of the Scottish landscape.
By using the same strength of colour, I hope to transform the painting away from a representation of a scene to having a mood and impact of its own.
