William Scott Prints for Sale
Born in Greenock, Scotland, William Scott (1913-1989) went to Belfast College of Art in 1928 and won a scholarship to the Royal Academy Schools in London in 1931. His first one-man show at the Hanover Gallery in London opened in June 1953 and included a number of, loosely, abstract paintings. That same year, an extended visit to North America resulted in friendships with New York based artists including Rothko and de Kooning. He was one of the first British artists to be aware of Abstract Expressionism. Throughout his prints the themes of still-life, landscape and the female nude recur in Scott’s work, often exploring the space between abstraction and figuration
