Scottie Wilson was born in Glasgow in 1891 and is remembered as one of the most important Outsider artists, certainly the most successful, numbering both Picasso and Dubuffet amongst his clients. After serving in the trenches in WWI he moved to Canada where, by now in his forties, he began to make his fastidiously detailed drawings. After exhibiting with some success in Toronto, Wilson returned to London where his career flourished with the interest in Art Brut in France. His characters and symbolism represents a broadly naturalistic sense of morality and good against evil. He died in 1972.
