Oil on canvas, 45.5 x 40.5 cms.
S.J. Peploe, Still Life with Pink Roses and Fruit.
Oil on canvas, 46 x 41 cms.
In the immediate post-War period Peploe combined traditional composition with an exploration of colour. After discovering the colourful work of Henri Matisse during his visits to France, he developed a rich palette of vibrant colours.
From 1914 onwards, Peploe had endeavoured to paint the perfect still life and he applied himself to his cause with great purpose, concentrating on depicting a few simple elements: Chinese vases, a black fan, roses or tulips would be set against a backdrop of brightly coloured fabrics bought from Whytock and Reid, the renowned Edinburgh decorators and furnishers.

J.D. Fergusson, Anne Estelle Rice In Paris (Closerie des Lilas (c.1907), Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow.
Oil on board, 27 x 34 cms.
Fergusson spent many years in France before the First World War. He first encountered the American expatriate artist Anne Estelle Rice in Paris in 1904, and subsequently worked with her until 1914. Set in smart Montparnasse, this portrait includes the café 'Closerie des Lilas', a favorite haunt for artists and intellectuals, attesting to the artist's preoccupation with Parisian café-culture. Small enough to have been executed on the spot, this vibrant painting is Fergusson's earliest essay in Fauve portraiture, a style characterized by its employment of expressive, non-representational colour.
