ART & EXHIBITIONS LIST
Scottish Gallery, Edinburgh
The Scottish Gallery could scarcely have chosen three exhibitions of greater contrast than those they have currently on display. All the artists are Scottish, but beyond that they have little in common.
Occupying centre stage, in the main, downstairs gallery, are drawings by the four Scottish Colourists (S. J. Peploe, G. L. Hunter, F. C. B. Cadell and Ferguson); work by Sir David Young Cameron (1865-1945) is in a smaller gallery, and prints and works on paper by painter, theatre designer and performance artist Bruce McLean are in a third.
Cameron and the Colourists represent opposite poles of turn of the century Scottish painting. Cameron‘s world looks ordered and formal and is nearly always, unpeopled. When people are included he shows them in a typical Victorian manner; swamped by a mass of masonry or soaring architecture. He depicts Tewksbury Abbey with tiny figures dwarfed by the splendid and imposing scale of the church. Man. when he appears at all, is humbled into insignificance.
This was not the Colourists view of the world. Theirworld is lull of certainties, and the good, material things of lite. (In the current materialistic climate, itseems,
incidentally, entirely appropriate that it ,
was one of the Colourists who recently broke the record price for a work by a Scottish artist when Peploe's Girl in White sold for £506,000 last December.) They painted fruit and flowers, women in large hats and long

SCOTTISH CONTRASTS
dress, women posing provocatively or standing coyly in a ballet pose. Unlike Cameron, they saw the world in fragments: the shape of a head, the curve of a pear, is what caught their attention and they painted everything with confident definition. It‘s a world full of youth and pleasure, as though they had plucked the choicest plum from the tree and ignored the rest.
It is also a world which, in a way Bruce McLean turns upside down. He depicts the world in terms of its ironies and contradictions. He uses fragments. but he uses them as symbols, not, as the colourists do, fortheir aesthetic properties. His is an unstable world, full of uncertainties and absurdities, like his Pot Head man, who, apparently smokes pot while wearing another pot, a kitchen saucepan, upside down on his head.
