Did you know? Francis Cadell, along with John Duncan Fergusson, George Leslie Hunter, and Samuel John Peploe, is considered one of the four key figures of the Scottish Colourists. This group of artists, active in the early 20th century, were influenced by French Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, particularly the work of artists like Matisse and the Fauvists. They brought a new vibrancy and color palette to Scottish art, moving away from more traditional, darker tones and embracing brighter, more expressive hues. Their work had a lasting impact on Scottish art and helped to establish a distinct modern Scottish artistic identity.
