▲ William Scott RA (1913-1989) 'Orange Still Life', 1956 (William Scott Archive No.1893);verso, pencil sketch of Mary Scott, the artist’s wife, late 1930ssigned 'W. Scott' l.r., gouache50.5 x 68cmProvenance: Private collection, USA;Offer Waterman & Co., London;the property of a private collector.The drawing of Mary Scott is similar to the oil painting ‘Seated Nude’, 1939, Tate, London.We are grateful to the William Scott Archive for their kind assistance with the cataloguing of the present work.In the 1950s, William Scott's use of vibrant colours, like orange and ochre, played a crucial role in his still-life compositions, marking a key period in his artistic development. As a member of the post-war British painting group, including artists such as Patrick Heron, Terry Frost and Peter Lanyon, Scott was influenced by the boldness of abstract expressionism. In 1953, his exposure to the New York School, where he met leading figures like Rothko, de Kooning and Pollock, made a significant impact on his approach to abstraction. Despite this, Scott remained deeply attached to the still-life genre, finding ways to modernise it while infusing it with abstraction. His works from the late 1950s often featured everyday objects like jugs, bowls and pans, painted against bold backgrounds in colours like orange. These hues, especially the warm tones of orange, went beyond mere decoration - they emphasised the physical presence of the objects and imbued the scenes with energy.Scott's choice of orange can be seen as a deliberate effort to elevate these everyday items, drawing attention to their form and giving them a unique vibrancy. This use of colour was particularly striking in works, as seen here in lot 278, where the colour envelops the composition, making items seem dynamic and essential. For Scott, orange was not only a visual tool but also a way to convey a sense of warmth and vitality. It helped balance the austerity of his minimalist approach with the sensuality he sought to evoke. By combining the figurative and abstract elements of his work, Scott's use of orange served as a bridge between his engagement with American abstraction and his European roots in more tactile, representational art.Condition ReportFramed: 67 x 84.5cmThe work is executed on paper. Rippling to the sheet visible when viewed from the side under raking light. Pinholes to top corners. A tiny tear to the extreme upper right corner. Lower edge torn slightly unevenly.

▲ William Scott RA (1913-1989) 'Grey, Black and White', 1959 signed 'W. Scott' l.r., gouache, watercolour and collage 48 x 66cm, unframed Provenance: With Hanover Gallery, London, 1960; Mr and Mrs P Wakefield; Sotheby's, London, 1 October 1997, lot 265; the property of a private collector. William Scott’s 'Grey, Black and White', 1959, exemplifies his distinct approach to abstraction - balancing restraint with expressive energy. While often associated with simplicity, his late 1950s and 1960s works embraced texture, layering and gestural application. He experimented with contrasts - thick and thin paint, smooth and rough surfaces - allowing imperfections to become part of the composition. In this piece, Scott abandons defining outlines, letting forms emerge organically. Muted tones of black, grey, brown, and off-white create a quiet tension, while his raw, unfinished surface reflects his belief in 'the beauty of the thing done badly'. Paint is pushed, scraped and layered, revealing his process and rejecting a polished aesthetic in favour of something more tactile and immediate. Despite its abstraction, Scott’s work never fully detaches from reality. As he stated, 'I cannot be called non-figurative while I am still interested in the modern magic of space…the things of life'. In 'Grey, Black and White' he captures this ambiguity, hinting at stone walls, landscapes, or familiar objects, while remaining open to interpretation. The artist's paintings from this period focus as much on the act of painting as the final image. His careful yet spontaneous approach invites viewers to engage with space, texture and form in a way that feels both structured and free. Scott's 'Grey, Black and White' stands as a testament to his mastery of abstraction, where surface and tone create an atmosphere of quiet dynamism and subtle depth.
