Dovecot Studios in Edinburgh hosts 'Scottish Colourists: Radical Perspectives,' the first exhibition contextualizing the Scottish Colourists with their UK and European peers. Organized by James Knox, it compares artists like Samuel John Peploe and J.D. Fergusson, who found inspiration in Parisian art, to Bloomsbury painters. The show spans early 20th-century Scottish art leading to insights from Modern masters and the impact of the 1912 post-Impressionist exhibition in London, including overlooked contemporaries such as John Dickson Innes and Roderic O'Conor.
The exhibition will also look at the European influence on the Scots' English, Welsh and Irish contemporaries, showcasing works by Augustus John and Roderic O'Conor.
The early section is about what was going on in Scotland in about 1900 to 1905, before transitioning to Paris and London's influence up to World War I.
