I mentioned in yesterday's post about how the city had a large collection of works by the Group of Seven. Some of that is here at the Ottawa Art Gallery. Others in the collection are in various city offices all over the place. This is a painting by A.J. Casson, a member of the Group. Clearing After The Rain, Late October, Lake Kamaniskeg dates to 1947.
Lawren Harris was another member of the Group. This is Mount Thule, Bylot Island, dating to 1930.
A.Y. Jackson painted Arctic In Summer in 1961.
Stepping out of the Group of Seven, we have this painting by Maurice Cullen, a Canadian Impressionist particularly known for his winter landscapes. Canal In Venice dates to 1896.
And today we finish off with Ljitualik by the Inuit artist Isah Qumalu Sivurapi.
The more I see of the work of the Group of Seven the more I like it.

Very nice. I have joined a group that studies local artists and I have learned so much. Amazing the talent we have and have had around us.
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I like the Ljitualik!
ReplyDelete… thank you for sharing!
...winter is all its beauty!
ReplyDeleteThat painting of Venice is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteLove the Group of Seven.
ReplyDeleteNext time I go to the AGO I will specifically look for paintings by Cullen.
I love the Canal in Venice and Arctic in Summer. The Group of Seven are wonderful painters.
ReplyDeleteI have a friend who has an original AY Jackson. If ever I were prone to larceny that would be the target!
ReplyDeleteI like those two paintings very much. And the Intuit art is very interesting.
ReplyDeleteLawren Harris is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteI like all three of the group of seven paintings.
ReplyDeleteWilliam - yes, the Group Of Seven photos have a style that is very appealing to me. I don't miss the big city, but it would be nice to have such a terrific art gallery close to hand! Enjoy your week ahead!
ReplyDeleteThe Lawren Harris Mt. Thule, always impresses me.
ReplyDeleteAll so interesting and I could live with any of them (well, I couldn’t because I am neither a zillionaire nor a collector with a place to display art, but you know what I mean.). .... I particularly admire the Inuit carvings.
ReplyDeleteI love that Lawrence Harris.
