Description
William Scott (1913-1989) trained at the Belfast College of Art and the Royal Academy Schools in London, and first came to the public's attention when he participated in the Arts Council's exhibition as part of the 1951 Festival of Britain. In 1953 he visited Rothko, Pollock, de Kooning and others in New York, and began to exhibit there regularly. His work ranges from abstract paintings to ever-richer still lifes with multiple levels of paint, and multiple levels of meaning. This book includes work from all periods, reproduced in 300 full-colour plates. The text is by Norbert Lynton, who has been given completely free access to Scott's private archive by the William Scott Estate.
