Leslie Hunter

George Leslie Hunter ( born August 7, 1877 in Rothesay, Isle of Bute, † December 6, 1931 in Glasgow ) was a British Post-Impressionist painter from the group of Scottish colourists.

After he emigrated with his family at the age of 13 years to California, Hunter earned his living as a painter and illustrator. His early work was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake in San Francisco. Shortly thereafter, he returned to Scotland, where he lived in Glasgow. His first exhibition was in 1916 in the Reid Gallery. Later, his work has been shown regularly at the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts.

During the 1920s, Hunter was known along with John Duncan Fergusson, Francis Cadell and Samuel Peploe as Scottish colourist. Her work has been strongly influenced by different Technique, composition and color of the French Impressionists and Fauves.

The most famous landscapes Hunters are scenes of Fife and southern France.
