I’m delighted that my feature ‘Samuel John Peploe: The Success Story of a Scottish Colourist’ is now live on the Art UK website.
Hunterian Art Gallery, University of Glasgow
Read about Samuel John Peploe (1871-1935) including his training in Edinburgh and Paris, his move to the French capital in the critical years before World War One, his return to Edinburgh and his international success thereafter:

Tulips in a Pottery Vase of about 1912 above is one of his most avant-garde paintings and was unprecedented in British, let alone Scottish art. See if you agree with me!
