Mann, Munich 1963 - The Scottish artist William Scott RA's work can be categorized as post-war abstract painting. His work also takes on interesting facets from figurative, classical painting, which Scott studied intensively from the age of 14. Artists such as Picasso, Modigliani and Cézanne influenced Scott aesthetically. He began studying painting at the Belfast Collage of Art in 1928, which he continued at the Royal Academy Schools in London. Until then, his early work was more figurative and playful. Scott's style changed significantly during a study trip to the USA. He became personally acquainted with Mark Rothko, Franz Kline and Jackson Pollock, the leading artists of Abstract Expressionism, Action Painting and the New York School. His style became more two-dimensional and his formal language much more abstract. Scott's participation in the Documenta in 1959 and 1964 with his newly created works led to his international breakthrough, followed by institutional exhibitions. In 1984 he was appointed a member of the Royal Academy. 5 years later, in 1989, Scott succumbed to Alzheimer's disease. Color lithograph on Arches wove paper. Signed, dated and numbered.
