An accessible and comprehensive introduction to the life and work of the seminal British abstract painter William Scott.
An accessible and comprehensive introduction to the life and work of the seminal British abstract painter William Scott.
William Scott was a British painter of international renown. Known principally for his abstract works of the 1950s, Scott represented Britain in the 1958 Venice Biennale, and has been the subject of many major exhibitions around the world, but until fairly recently he has remained largely undiscovered by the wider public. This book sets Scott's work in the context of his early life; his time teaching in France in the 1930s; the production of the early still-lifes of the 1940s; and his meeting with Rothko, Pollock and de Kooning in the early 1950s, the period in which he began to explore ways in which abstraction and figurative painting could be seen as different aspects of the same creative endeavour.
