Scottie Wilson

1891 - 1972 / Scottish

Scottie Wilson’s design was printed in 1955, the last year of the Ascher Squares project. At the time Wilson was working and living in London, however he was most likely introduced to Zika Ascher though Parisian connections. Jean Dubuffet first heralded Wilson’s work as representative of his concept of Art Brut. Wilson had no formal artistic training, did not work with dealers, and was against selling his works.
