Online Event
The Scottish Colourists: Radical Perspectives

Join Dovecot Studios for an online tour with curator James Knox as he takes you through a
exciting new exhibition – The Scottish Colourists: Radical Perspectives.

Discover the ground-breaking exhibition in partnership with the Fleming Collection,
which for the first time showcases the Scottish Colourists in the context of their
European contemporaries, interrogating how this international generation of radical
painters forged a new language of colour in the early 20th century.

The Scottish Colourists — SJ Peploe, JD Fergusson, GL Hunter, and FCB Cadell —
are widely recognised as pioneers of early 20th-century Scottish art. Often exhibited
as a quartet, their work will now be shown in the company of key figures such as
Matisse and Derain, as well as the Bloomsbury Group’s Vanessa Bell and Duncan
Grant.

Enjoy a journey through the avant-garde movement as conventions are challenged
around who should be considered some of the most experimental British painters of
the early 20th century.
