Additional Information

This picture, painted in 1960-1961, clearly relates to Scott’s other paintings of the period, including Ochre Still Life, 1958 (also available as a Tate custom print). The flattened shapes of kitchen utensils are more abstract in this work, while the surface of the canvas resembles a plaster wall. Scott has also referred to the possible influence of Egyptian art – something he was inspired by at the time he produced the painting.

Born 1913 to Scottish-Irish parents, William Scott is the most internationally celebrated 20th century painter from Ulster, Northern Ireland. Scott is best known for his abstract and still-life paintings of simple kitchen objects. He strayed from these forms several times throughout his life but with little success. While serving in the army he made a number of watercolours of soldiers and the landscape, but when the war ended he returned to painting still lifes in earnest.
