    About Alberto Morrocco

    Alberto Morrocco

    Alberto Morrocco OBE, was one of the most charismatic and influential figures in Scottish art during the second half of the twentieth century. Born in Aberdeen to Italian parents, he studied at Gray’s School of Art from the age of fourteen under James Cowie and Robert Sivell, winning both the Carnegie and Brough Travelling Scholarships which enabled him to study and travel in France, Switzerland and later Italy.
