Abstract:
Four artists who are today relatively or almost entirely unknown - Marian Dale Scott, Fritz Brandtner, Henry Eveleigh, and Gordon Webber - nevertheless played a part in the aesthetic upheavals that led to abstraction in 1940s Montreal. This book reinstates the oeuvres of these forgotten protagonists in the narrative of abstract art.
