Kathleen Scott - Works

Works

Three of Scott's busts feature in the collection of London's National Portrait Gallery, and she is also the subject of thirteen photographic portraits there.

She sculpted at least two statues of her first husband, Antarctic explorer Robert Falcon Scott, after his death. One of these is located in Christchurch, New Zealand and another is in Waterloo Place, London. A plaque to Scott is on the exterior of the Scott Polar Research Institute in Cambridge with a statue of "Youth" (1920), for which the model was A.W. Lawrence, younger brother of T. E. Lawrence (better known as "Lawrence of Arabia").

She also sculpted a statue of Edward Smith, captain of the Titanic, after his death. This is situated in Beacon Park, Lichfield, England.

A statue at Oundle School entitled "Here Am I, Send Me" is erroneously held to be modelled on Peter Scott.

She also produced a small bronze of the Indian actor Sabu.

A memorial statue of Charles Rolls by Scott stands on the promenade in Dover.

Famous quotes containing the word works:

    It’s an old trick now, God knows, but it works every time. At the very moment women start to expand their place in the world, scientific studies deliver compelling reasons for them to stay home.
    Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)

    In the works of man, everything is as poor as its author; vision is confined, means are limited, scope is restricted, movements are labored, and results are humdrum.
    Joseph De Maistre (1753–1821)

    Any balance we achieve between adult and parental identities, between children’s and our own needs, works only for a time—because, as one father says, “It’s a new ball game just about every week.” So we are always in the process of learning to be parents.
    Joan Sheingold Ditzion, Dennie, and Palmer Wolf. Ourselves and Our Children, by Boston Women’s Health Book Collective, ch. 2 (1978)
