A virtual exhibition to mark the 150th anniversary of Scottish colourist Samuel Peploe’s birth has been launched in Fife – with thanks due to a famous local linen magnate.
ONFife, Fife’s Cultural Trust, say Peploe’s pieces – with their vibrant paintwork and luminous settings – provide the perfect pick-me-up for the dark days of winter and these travel-restricted times.
With 46 of the artist’s paintings, Kirkcaldy Art Gallery currently has the biggest group of Peploes outside National Galleries Scotland, thanks principally to the superb collection of Kirkcaldy linen manufacturer J W Blyth, the maternal grandfather of journalist and broadcaster Michael Portillo.
