William Scott : Divided Figure

27 Apr-10 Jul 2013

Overview

The exhibition is the second in a series of distinctive retrospectives taking place in art galleries across the UK and US throughout 2013. It will focus on Scott’s figure works, both on canvas and on paper, created between 1954-1973 when he was arguably at the height of his artistic career and propelled onto the international art stage. The Jerwood Gallery’s exhibition will include photographs, exhibition catalogues and archive material generously loaned by the William Scott Archive and screenings of the 1984 film Every Picture Tells a Story, a touching and personal biography of the life of William Scott told by his son, Academy Award-winning filmmaker, James Scott. The exhibition has been developed in conjunction with the William Scott Foundation.
