William Scott

William Scott

Celebrated for exploring the space between abstraction and figuration,
William Scott is best known for his painting of still lifes, landscapes
and the female nude. On the occasion of the centenary of his birth, Karsten Schubert in London presented an exhibition of the artist's
nude drawings from the 1950s. A magnificent series of nearly abstract
drawings, this group represents a period of exploration and refiguring
for Scott. The works also exemplify his interest in 'the modern magic
of space, primitive sex forms, the sensual and erotic, disconcerting
contours, the things of life.' Twelve drawings are accompanied by Sarah
Whitfield s insightful text plus an essay on drawing by the artist.
