About the Artist:
George Leslie Hunter was born in August 1877. He showed an aptitude for drawing at an early age and became largely self-taught, receiving only elementary painting lessons from a family acquaintance. Whilst regarded as a Scottish painter, he also spent fifteen years from the age of fifteen in the USA, mainly in California. By the turn of the century he was making a living as an illustrator, but little is known of Hunter's early work as much of it was destroyed in the San Francisco earthquake of 1906. Following his youth in California, he returned to Scotland, painting and drawing there and in Paris. Subsequently, he travelled widely in Europe, especially in the South of France, but also in the Netherlands, the Pas de Calais and Italy. During the 1920s Hunter emerged alongside Cadell, Fergusson and Peploe as one of four artists who became known as 'Scottish Colourists'. They were all influenced, in varying degrees, by the pure, bright colour and loose brushwork of French Impressionsim, Post-Impressionism and fauve painting.
Hunter painted a variety of still-life’s, landscapes and portraits, and his paintings are critically acclaimed for their treatment of light and the effects of light. They became popular with more progressive critics and collectors during his lifetime and have grown to command high prices since his death, becoming among the most popular in Scotland. George Leslie Hunter died in December 1931.
