The complete oil paintings of William Scott (1913-1989), a central figure in 20th-century art. An enormous amount of new information has been unearthed during the six years of research that has gone into this important project.
Full Description
Over the course of his career, William Scott painted more than 1,000 works in oil, all of which are catalogued in this four-volume publication, which covers the artist's output from 1928 to 1986. Each work is accompanied by a catalogue note giving reasons for the dating together with any documentary material relevant to its history, much of it published here for the first time. An enormous amount of new information has been unearthed during the six years of research that has gone into this important project, research that not only reveals a great deal more than was previously known about the artist's life and work but also about how both these aspects of his career had a bearing on the wider context of contemporary British art. The artist's own papers and many previously unpublished letters and lecture notes have been made available by his family especially for this project. This landmark work will provide scholars and collectors with a vital tool for further research, and all lovers of Scott's art with a source of inspiration and insight.
