Description
William Scott, born in 1913, first came to the public's attention when he participated in the Arts Council's exhibition at the 1951 Festival of Britain. His work ranges from abstract paintings to ever-richer still lifes with multiple levels of paint, and multiple levels of meaning. This sumptuous volume, the definitive book on Scott and his art, includes work from all periods, most of which is reproduced in full colour.
