Still Life
About this artwork
Like S. J. Peploe, Hunter spent extended periods living and working in France. Together with fellow Scottish artists Fergusson and Cadell, they were among the first British artists to make contact with French Post-Impressionist painting which greatly influenced their style. The four have since become known as the Scottish Colourists. Still lifes were a common theme that all four Colourists experimented with.
