From a small panel painted on the spot when he was working outside in Fife and Edinburgh via others dating from c.1910 when he was painting in Paris and Paris-Plage and working alongside the Fauvists, to the major 1934 piece A Nous la Liberté, Fergusson is never simply an observer, always displaying a remarkable gift of exhilarating engagement with his subject matter, one that sweeps you irresistibly along in a cloud of colour. The Scottish Gallery also feature the artist’s paintings, sculptures and drawings this month in ‘La Vie Bohème’. NU THUMB nails J.D Fergusson ‘Cassis from the West’, c.1930
