William Scott OBE RA (1913-1989)
William Scott was born in Greenock, Scotland,
and came to live with his family in his father's home town, Enniskillen, Co. Fermanagh in 1924. He studied
at the Belfast College of Art and the RA school, London. Scott lived in France in 1938-1939, then briefly
in Dublin before settling in England. His work of the 1930s and 1940s was predominantly still life but
in the 1950s he turned to abstract painting, and he slowly and methodically developed his style to produce
the critically acclaimed masterpieces of the height of his career in the 1960s and 1970s. He exhibited
throughout the world and was honoured with many international awards. The Tate staged a major retrospective
exhibition in 1972. His work is included in most major collections in Europe and America and he is regarded
as one of the world's foremost twentieth century artists.
