Framed Circle of Cadell Still Life, 1920, ex-Christie's
Circle of Francis Campbell Boileau Cadell (Scottish, 1883-1937). "Still Life with Flowers in an Urn" oil on canvas, ca. 1920. A fabulous still life that captures several tenets of early Modernism, in particular the intense bold colors as well as the extremely steep perspective, expressive brushwork, and decorative line of Fauvist painters such as Henri Matisse. Although the subject matter of the composition is quite traditional - being a still life featuring classic objects such as a bowl of fruit and a floral arrangment flanking an apple and a wine glass on a cloth covered tabletop - the artist plays with the saturation of hues as well as how we perceive depth on a two-dimensional surface to create an incredibly avant-garde effect that turns tradition on its head despite the conventional iconography. Size: 27.75" W x 24.25" H (70.5 cm x 61.6 cm); 35.125" W x 31.625" H (89.2 cm x 80.3 cm) framed
Francis Campbell Boileau Cadell studied in Paris from 1899 to 1903, then lived in Munich for several years until returning to his native Edinburgh. In 1912, Cadell founded the "Society of Eight" along with a group of artists who were interested in both Impressionism and Fauvism. Other artists in this group included Samuel John Peploe and John Lavery. Cadell and Peploe along with Leslie Hunter and J.D. Fergusson would later become known as the Scottish Colorists. These artists were pioneers in that they were the first to introduce the vibrant colors of Fauvism in Scottish art.
