Career edit
She was born in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago in 1943; her German parents emigrated there from Cologne, Germany in 1939.[4] In 1951, Wagschal immigrated to Canada with her family and settled in Montreal.[2] In 1962, she received a Teaching Diploma from MacDonald College, McGill University, and in 1975, a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Sir George Williams University (later Concordia University), Montreal.[2][5] She taught painting and drawing at Concordia University for 37 years, and developed an innovative seminar/workshop entitled Women and Painting.[5][6]
Her images are said to "bleed nostalgia and emotion" and concern the ravages of time on human flesh.[7] A travelling retrospective titled Marion Wagschal: Portraits, Memories Fables was organized by Sarah Fillmore for the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia in 2014 and was shown at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts in 2015.[8][9] In 2017, the Musée d'art de Joliette held an exhibition of her work. Among the public galleries which have her paintings are the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec,[1] the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts,[10] the Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal, Confederation Centre of the Arts (Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island), the Robert McLaughlin Gallery (Oshawa, Ontario) and Plattsburgh State Art Museum (Plattsburgh, New York).[6]
