Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh: F. C. B. Cadell, 22 October 2011-18 March 2012
Cadell painted landscapes throughout his career, including several of the wooded terrain around Auchnacraig in Mull in the late 1920s. This painting can be related to his friend and fellow Scottish Colourist S. J. Peploe’s studies of trees at Calvine, Perthshire which he made during the summer of 1933. It may also reveal an awareness of the work of the Canadian Group of Seven artists, who showed to great acclaim in the British Empire Exhibitions in Wembley in 1924 and 1925.
