'Still Life with Fruit and Flowers' is an exceptional painting: it was created when Peploe was working most closely with his friend and fellow Scottish Colourist F. C. B. Cadell, and is in the still life genre for which he is most celebrated. Its stunning palette, cropped and asymmetrical composition, and frank technique mean that it encapsulates the ‘modern’ in modern Scottish art. It is on such bold works that Peploe’s leading reputation within twentieth-century art history is based.
