He was the second son of Samuel John Peploe and his wife Margaret (née Mackay), a brother for Willy, who had been born in August 1910, in Royan. His earliest memory was being held up to the window at night at the back of the family flat in the New Town to see a hostile Zeppelin dropping bombs onto Leith during a unique raid made in April 1916, which cost 11 lives. The boys lived with their parents in a first floor flat at 13 India Street and went to school at The Edinburgh Academy at the foot of the New Town and both thrived, Willy going up to Oxford to study History at Magdalen. Denis was equally academically bright, but thrived also on the sporting field, excelling at cricket, rugby and golf. In the art department AC Dodds (the one-armed inspiration for the art-master in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie) was lenient with the tawse and encouraged Denis Peploe, c.1918 Peploe junior in his ambitions to become a painter.

  • EIGHT ARTISTS CATALOGUE 6 July 2015.Pdf
    THE LEMOND GALLERY SCOTTISH CONTEMPORARY ART AN EXAMINATION OF EIGHT ARTISTS FROM TWO CRITICAL PHASES OF SCOTTISH ART TRAINING TWO WEEKS - Saturday 18th July to Sunday 2nd August 2015 CONTEMPORARY SCOTTISH ART AN EXAMINATION OF EIGHT ARTISTS FROM TWO CRITICAL PHASES OF SCOTTISH ART TRAINING BACKGROUND It is somewhat logical that, as we look at the Contemporary Scottish Art offering, we should find the roots of what we are looking at within the key Scottish educational establishments. As Scotland prospered from its dominant position within the industrial revolution (1760-1840) and the wealthy Victorian era (1837-1901), patronage and interest in the arts expanded and new art schools emerged in all of the main population centres – the Glasgow School of Art (GSA) 1845, the Edinburgh College of Art (ECA) which can trace its development to 1760, formed the current institution in 1906, Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, Dundee (DOJD) 1892 and lastly Gray’s School of Art, Aberdeen (GSAA) 1885. These institutions, together with the formation of the various artist bodies incorporated by Royal Charter including the Royal Scottish Academy (RSA 1826), the Royal Glasgow Institute (RGI 1861) and the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour (RSW 1876) together with the Paisley Art Institute (PAI 1876) would underpin the central foundations of subsequent art development in Scotland. Scottish Art history records two significant periods of art development in this period – the social realism of the Glasgow Boys (1870-1910) and the Scottish Colourists (c.1920-1940), whose popular idiom embraced the earlier work of the French impressionists and post-impressionists.

This period of artistic output contains a range of style and focus- natural subject matter such as landscape and still life remained emphasised; scenes of leisure and enjoyment were prevalent; and those elevating abstraction saw a surge of interest and legitimacy much in part to Picasso’s growing influence.
