Kirkcudbright Artists' Colony
The Kirkcudbright Artists’ Colony was an artists’ community that existed approximately between 1880 and 1980 in Kirkcudbright in Dumfries and Galloway.〔(Haig, ''Tales of the Kirkcudbright Artists'' Kirkcudbright, 2006 )〕 The town attracted many of the country’s leading artists such as E A Hornel, William Mouncey, Charles Oppenheimer, Jessie M King, E A Taylor and S J Peploe. These artists and craftspeople produced an extensive body of work.
This places Kirkcudbright in the context of a group of artists’ communities that emerged in Britain from the late 19th century onwards such as Newlyn, Staithes, St Ives, Walberswick, as well in Europe generally, for example at Pont-Aven in Brittany and Worpswede in Germany. However, no other community attracted so many artists for such a long period, so that Kirkcudbright retained its special place in the history of Scottish art for over 100 years. This reputation is upheld to this day with many artists working in the town at the recently opened WASPS Artists’ Studios. Kirkcudbright has a unique place in the history of Scottish Art as the only town where an artists’ community or ‘colony’ flourished for such a long period.
==Evolution of Kirkcudbright Artists' Colony==
Arguably the Kirkcudbright Artists’ Colony would not have evolved very far without with E A Hornel (1864-1933), who became Kirkcudbright’s best known artist. Hornel first came to prominence as one of the Glasgow Boys.〔(Roger, ''Glasgow Boys at Kirkcudbright 1880-1900'', Kirkcudbright 2011 )〕 He worked in Glasgow sharing a studio with George Henry (1858-1943) but maintained his connections with his home town. As a result the town became known to several of the ‘Boys’, particularly George Henry and James Guthrie (1859-1930), as a favoured summer painting location, taking over from previous summer resorts, for example Brig o’Turk in the Trossachs and Cockburnspath in Berwickshire. The presence of the artist John Faed (1818-1902) at Gatehouse-of-Fleet, just 8 miles from Kirkcudbright, and his evident support for the younger generation of Kirkcudbrightshire artists, was a further factor leading to the evolution of an artistic community in Kirkcudbright. The combination of professional experience and career success, coupled with youthful energy, ambition and enthusiasm, led to the establishment of the Kirkcudbrightshire Fine Arts Association in 1886, with John Faed as its President,〔(Patrick (ed.), ''Kirkcudbright: 100 Years of an Artists Colony'' Edinburgh, 2000 )〕 and younger artists such as Hornel, Thomas Bromley Blacklock (1863-1903) and W S MacGeorge (1861-1931) on the Committee, together with several older, local amateur painters.
