Mr Peploe may be considered the leader: S. J. Peploe and the Scottish Colourists
Sponsored by Lyon & TurnbullS. J. Peploe was the most successful, critically and commercially, of the four artists known as the Scottish Colourists. Moreover, it was his friendships with F. C. B. Cadell, J. D. Fergusson and G. L. Hunter that bound them together as a quartet, as they never formed an official group.Alice Strang, Associate Director of Lyon & Turnbull fine art auctioneers, will discuss how Peploe met, worked beside and exhibited with his Colourist colleagues, intertwined with an overview of his international career. She curated the National Galleries of Scotlands Scottish Colourist Series of exhibitions of the work of Peploe, Fergusson and Cadell and her book about the Scottish Colourists for the galleries is due to be published later this year.Image caption: Alice Strang with Iceland Poppies by S.
