Cadell was enamoured with the small Scottish island of Iona in the Inner Hebrides, which he visited almost every summer between 1912 and 1933. On Iona, he produced dazzling landscapes and seascapes inspired by the characteristic azure waters and bleached sands for which the island is famous. Cadell’s Iona paintings of the 1920s contrast sharply with his interior scenes of the same period; a cooler more harmonious palette marks the Iona pictures which sustained the artist financially, being a commercial success and extremely popular with Scottish collectors.
The Embroidered Cloak (1920s), Ferens Art Gallery, Hull.
Oil on canvas, 74.5 x 61.5 cms.
This painting expresses the ‘jazz-age’ sensibility of Cadell’s work of the 1920s, the colours employed by the artist are of a heightened intensity, and the flattening of his brushwork expressed in the patterned oriental throw, which cloaks the woman. During the 1920s Cadell’s studio environment was subject to the same change in style. He painted his new studio at 6 Ainslie Place with intense lilac walls, furnishing his new premises in rich jewel tones.
