"Marian Dale Scott, 1906 - 1993: Pioneer of Modern Art"
2000-12-16 until 2001-03-18
Art Gallery of Hamilton
Hamilton, ON, CA Canada

The paintings of Marian Dale Scott are among the most exciting visual statements to have emerged from Montreal during the thirties and forties. As a friend and associate of artist John Lyman and a founding member of the Contemporary Arts Society of Montreal (1939) Scott occupied a central place within Montreal's English speaking intellectual circles.

This retrospective exhibition brings together over sixty paintings and works from experiments in a figurative modern language to pure abstraction. Particular attention is paid to Scott's work from the thirties and forties, a germane and critical period in which she produced many of her most innovative canvases and that today serves to place her within the most progressive artistic circles of her day.
