Edinburgh Evening News
A MAJOR display of work by one of Scotland's biggest artists is set to go on show for the first time in nearly 70 years.
Around 80 paintings by Edinburgh artist Francis Cadell are to be exhibited at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art.
The exhibition will showcase celebrated works such as Lady in Black, The White Room and The Orange Blind, in the first of a series devoted to the Scottish Colourists.
Cadell is renowned for his depictions of Edinburgh New Town interiors, his vibrant still lives and evocative landscapes of the island of Iona. The forthcoming show, the first solo exhibition for nearly seven decades, will also include displays of a range of still life objects depicted in his paintings.
