The Scottish Colourists
by Roger Billcliffe

This superbly illustrated volume is the first study to consider the work of the four major Scottish Colourists, Peploe, Fergusson, Hunter, Cadell. Now in paperback, featuring 140 color reproductions.

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. Art historian Roger Billcliffe confirms the reputation of these four remarkable painters - Samuel John Peploe, John Duncan Fergusson, George Leslie Hunter, and Francis Campbell Boileau Cadell - and reassesses their work in the context of 20th century British painting.
