that city and its way of
looking at life. For it was
the brilliance and brutality
of New York in the 1930’s that
shaped the man and the artist.

In 1942, George Scott was
awarded the prestigious New
York City Augustus

Excellence in Art and, in the
same year, won acceptance to
Cooper Union Institute where
he was to study under such
luminaries as Max Weber , John

remembers Max Wilkes, in
particular, as taking a strong
interest in his work and
encouraging him to pursue a
career in fine art.
