“Working on large [8 x 15 feet] un-stretched canvases. JACK SCOTT draws charcoal arcs in a freehand style. Through placement and density the arcs create patterns of light and dark, vibrating with a luminescence unaniticipated by the rawness of the materials. In previous works the arcs coalesced into amorphous forms – romantic sensations suggesting clouds, smoke or fog. With his recent works Scott introduces a concrete graphic form, large bisecting arcs that are giant magnifications of the minutey rendered arcs. Environmental romanticism yields to a bolder sensibility, as these shapes bear relationship to configurations favored by Minimalists and hard-edge abstract-expressionists.” ~ Hal Fischer, Art Forum 1978
