The Scottish Colourists | FCB Cadell

Born in Edinburgh, Francis Campbell Boileau Cadell studied in Paris and lived in Munich before returning to his hometown around 1909. Cadell's pre-war work is heavily influenced by the Impressionists. But from around 1920, his work became brighter and bolder: shadows were suppressed to such an extent that the paintings of this period are comprised of areas of flat colour.

In this film, Alice Strang, Kirstie Meehan, and Guy Peploe talk about the Scottish Colourist’s life and work.
