A white ground with oval shapes etched into the paint. Top left a part seen orange oval.In the 1950s, Scott was known as a pioneer of abstraction in Britain. He tended to follow the trends of the popular American abstractionists and Pop Art icons, opening himself up to critique in a British society not yet ready for his innovative style of painting. One of his favourite colours to work with was orange, which he proudly showcased in groups.Scott’s Orange and White came to the museum in 1969, along with works by Patrick Heron and Terry Frost. Together they announced a new ethos of collecting for RAMM which embraced the work of living artists as well as significant artists of the past.Purchased with assistance from the Victoria and Albert Museum Purchase Grant Fund, 1969
