从1928年，十五岁的威廉·斯科特尝试通过画风景画来挣钱，到1986年，一颗梨的形状见证了他对纯粹形式的热爱，他创作了超过1000幅油画作品，所有这些作品都被收录在这本制作精美的新出版物中。每件作品都附有说明条目，给出了断代的理由，以及与作品历史相关的任何文献资料，其中许多资料都是首次在此出版。

 

在这个重要项目的六年研究过程中，挖掘出了大量新信息。此外，由于斯科特家人的密切参与，我们比以往了解了更多关于这位艺术家生活和工作的信息，并展示了这两个要素如何对当代英国艺术的更广泛背景产生了影响。艺术家的私人文件以及许多迄今未发表的信件和讲座笔记，都由其家人特别为本次出版而提供。

 

‘I am an abstract artist in the sense that I abstract. I cannot be called non-figurative while I am still interested in the modern magic of space, primitive sex forms, the sensual and the erotic, disconcerting contours, the things of life’ - Willam Scott

 

‘Clive Bell used to say that William Scott was the only young painter who, having encountered Picasso, had managed to absorb the impact and been able to thoroughly digest what he had taken from that master’ - Patrick Heron

 

From 1928, when at the age of fifteen he tried to earn money painting landscapes, to 1986, when the shape of a single pear bore witness to his love of pure form, William Scott painted more than 1,000 works in oil, all of them catalogued in this magnificently produced new publication. Each work is accompanied by an entry 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. This, and the close involvement of Scott’s family, has revealed a great deal more than was previously known about the artist’s life and work, and shows how both these elements had a bearing on the wider context of contemporary British art. The artist’s own papers and many hitherto unpublished letters and lecture notes have been released by his family specially for this publication.
