Kirkcudbright 1918

"Kirkcudbright" (1918) by Samuel Peploe is a colorful and expressive depiction of a small town in Scotland. The artist, known for his Post-Impressionist style, uses bold, flat planes of color and simplified forms to capture the essence of the scene. The dominant feature is a tall, orange-red tower, likely a church, which stands out against a pale blue sky. The surrounding buildings are painted in a range of vibrant hues, creating a dynamic and visually captivating composition. This work exemplifies Peploe's fascination with the interplay of color and light in urban landscapes.
