"(In the 1930's, Scottie Wilson) started drawing in a distinctive linear style, conveying an archetypal struggle between goodness and evil-the former represented in the shapes of nature (birds, fish, and plants), the latter personified in the demonic faces he called "evils" or "greedies". He later agreed to show in London galleries, and his work was included in the exhibition Surrealist Diversity at the Arcade Gallery in 1945 alongside works by Giorgio de Chirico and Paul Klee. Thereafter, Wilson attracted a number of dedicated supporters and collectors, chiefly Surrealists like E.L.T. Mesens and Roland Penrose and later Dubuffet, who unhesitatingly saw the work as art brut" (Private Worlds: Classic Outsider Art from Europe, New York, 1998, p. 34).
