The Museum of Scotland: Benson + Forsyth

by John Allan, Duncan Macmillan, Colin St John Wilson

Victor Willing first came to prominence in 1955 on leaving the Slade. His mature work, based on the operations of the subconscious and with reference to writers and theorists such as Nietzsche, Sartre, and Tristan Tzara, was both responsive to and influential on the contemporary London art scene. Published in close collaboration with Willing's widow, the artist Paula Rego, and with unprecedented access to Willing's archives, the book provides the fullest possible record and evaluation of the work of this important artist.
