William Scott by Norbert Lynton

I first saw William Scott's work in a smaller book on British painters and sculptures. I was attracted to his strong simple style. Being impressed, I saw this large monograph book was available. When it came, I was extremely impressed with the complete, detailed story of his life ...as an artist ,I was looking for inspiration,and the large color reproductions are breathtaking and leave you more than satisfied. The book takes great pains in showing you the studious progression of his painting, his truth to himself. Just to read of his life or watch the progression of his work is inspiring. I don't know if I have seen so many color examples in an art book before and if color is important in your work, this book gives you the disipline that will help. Great price on an important book.

Brilliant

As a long-time admirer of William Scott's work, I found the Lynton book a reference and pictorial of extraordinary value, quality and beauty.

great art book

I saw this book and just had to buy it and I'm not disappointed. I haven't read it all yet but can't wait to! wonderful inspring artworks and very comprehensive

Truly marvelous

This may be the most awesome and dazzling art book of the over 100 I have. It arrived yesterday and I spent three straight hours with it and will spend many more. Hundreds of lovely color reproductions on very heavy stock, a truly in-depth study of the artist and his work, with a completeness that even includes pictures of Scott's models and of his wife's sculpture. The book is divided into sections - all well documented - that deal with various aspects of Scott's work, including a separate one devoted to his drawings. The only complaint I have is the author's constant use of "WS" in all references to Scott.
