Artist and educator Jock Macdonald was a pioneer in the development of abstract art in Canada. In the mid-1940s, he met British Surrealists Dr. Grace Pailthorpe and Reuben Mednikoff, and received a crucial introduction to automatic art. The automatic process requires the artist to suppress conscious intention, allowing for totally unconscious creation. Automatic art was a revelation to Macdonald. In 1946, MacDonald wrote to Dr. Pailthorpe:
“Never can you know how indebted I am to you both for the awakening and releasing of my inner consciousness. Your coming to this distant outpost has been an initiation for me, into the higher plane of creative understanding – one of the most marvelous enrichment in my life. Definitely, for me, an eternal awakening in experience which my soul was seeking for so many years.”
