l John Duncan Fergusson (1874 – 1961) was born in Leith and had little formal art education.
l He moved to Paris in 1907 and persuaded his friend and fellow Colourist, Samuel J Peploe, to join him there in 1910.
l The pair became involved in Parisian art circles and were among the very first British artists to see and absorb the latest developments in the work of artists including Picasso and Matisse.
