Throughout her career Marian Dale Scott never hesitated to venture into new terrain, endlessly exploring the pictorial paths she found promising. After being associated with modern figurative painting in the 1930s and 1940s, she resolutely embarked on abstract art in the late 1950s. In the end her oeuvre embraced landscape and the urban world, the human figure, plant life, the micro-universe of cells and geometric abstraction. In her development as a painter she drew nourishment from the Group of Seven and from European and American art, as well as sustaining a particular interest in primitive and religious art, Automatiste and the plasticien movement. During the final years of her career, she strove to achieve a dialectical synthesis of structure and expression, the two poles that underpinned her whole practice. As a committed woman painter, Scott also succeeded in balancing the demands of family life with her abiding passion for art. She was, indeed, a groundbreaker, opening the way for the many women artist working in Quebec today. --- John R. Porter
