Samuel John Peploe
Samuel John Peploe was a Scottish Post-Impressionist painter, noted for his still life works and for being one of the group of four painters that became known as the Scottish Colourists.
This work was painted during a time when Peploe was experimenting with using areas of bright color in his still life paintings. Peploe had spent time studying in Paris and was influenced by contemporary French painting. He felt that every plane was to be represented by a change of color and selected material for his still lifes which could be treated in flat areas of strong color: lemons, oranges, roses, tulips, blue and white china, bowls, and drapes were his main subjects. In this work the outlines are bold (some are blue or dark red) to emphasize the objects and their relation to one another. Lovely, isn't it?
