FCB CADELL (NAT GALLERIES SCOTLAND)

F C B Cadell's zest for life and diversity of subjects make him unique among the Scottish Colourists. Influenced by direct contact with the European avant-garde movements, and by early knowledge of the work of Matisse and the Fauves, his paintings are noted for their confidence and richness of colour. This book illustrates many of the works for which Cadell is celebrated, including stylish portrayals of Edinburgh New Town interiors, daringly simple still lifes, and evocative landscapes of the west coast of Scotland and the south of France.
