William Scott - simplicity and subject

William Scott was one of the most influential British painters of the 20th century. So it's only fitting that a major loan exhibition celebrates the centenary of his birth and his close connections with the city of Bath with 50 paintings, sculptures and drawings from all phases of his distinguished career.

The exhibition, taking place at Victoria Art Gallery by Pulteney Bridge in Bath, also sheds new light on Scott’s role as Senior Painting Master at Bath Academy of Art based at Corsham Court. Don't miss it! Taking place from 7 September until 17 November 2013. More information from: www.victoriagal.org.uk.
