This lot consists of a hand painted Oil on Cardboard rendered in the style of British painter William Scott (1913-1989)
William Scott was a Scottish-born British still-life painter who was influenced by the work of both Georges Braque and Paul Klee. Characterized by flat areas of colour and descriptive lines, his paintings explored the various forms found in daily life. Born on February 15, 1913 in Greenock, United Kingdom, his family moved to his father's hometown of Enniskillen in Northern Ireland when Scott was 11 years old. The artist went on to study first at the Belfast School of Art before finishing his education at the Royal Academy of Art in London. In 1937, he founded an art school in Pont-Aven, France with his friend the painter Geoffrey Nelson. Considered one of the 20th century's best-known painters from Ulster, he represented Britain at the Venice Biennale in 1958. Retrospectives of his work have been held at both the Tate Gallery in London and the Irish Museum of Modern Art in Dublin. Scott died on December 28, 1989 in Somerset, United Kingdom.
