Leslie Hunter: A Life in Colour
21 July – 14 October 2012
“Everyone must choose his own way, and mine will be the way of colour.” (Leslie Hunter, c.1916)
George 'Leslie' Hunter (1877 - 1931) was one of a group of four artists now known collectively as The Scottish Colourists. Although they never worked as a group, they shared a love of bold, expressive colours and were among the most influential Scottish painters of the 20th century.
The first comprehensive survey of Hunter’s work for over 50 years, this exhibition includes more than 70 major works representing each period of his life, including his sojourns in Fife, around Loch Lomond and further afield in France and Italy.
Accompanying this exhibition and providing further context to Hunter’s place in Scottish Art History, The Scottish Colourists: Inspiration and Influence is a separate display of works by artists who influenced Leslie Hunter - including Peploe, Fergusson and Cadell - and artists who were in turn influenced by him.
