Continuing on where I left off, here's some of the Ottawa Art Gallery's permanent collection. Much of it comes from the Firestone family collection, acquired by the city. Landscape (Wheatfields) is a 1955 painting by Art McKay.
Automne (Fall) is the title of this 1959 abstract work by Alfred Pellan.
Joyce Frances Devlin painted Strathmere, Windy Day in 1975.
This 1978 painting by Philip Surrey is titled The Crossing.
The city of Ottawa has a large collection of the Group of Seven, courtesy of the Firestone collection. One of the later members of the Group was Edwin Holgate. This is Laurentians, dating to 1949.
For today I finish off with this. Ghitta Caiserman painted Self Portrait With Rose Bush in 1960.
They are bold, stylized, but simple. I like them.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely!
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely painting exhibits.
ReplyDeleteGood photo selection. All paintings are nice, but Surrey's, The Crossing, is a favorite. I think there has been more strong wind storms this season than usual.
ReplyDeleteVery nice paintings exhibits.
ReplyDeleteHi William, thanks for showing these beautiful paintings. I trust you're keeping well. Jo
ReplyDeleteSome of these paintings are really wonderful.
ReplyDeleteArt, in all its forms, is so critical to human satisfaction and the development of a civilized society. We may not agree with it always, nor understand it all, but we should rejoice in the fact that artists are free to follow their own creative impulses and not be directed by the dictates of the state.
ReplyDelete@Linda: me too.
ReplyDelete@Lady Fi: indeed.

Hello, lovely paintings and exhibit. Enjoy your day, wishing you a great new week ahead.
ReplyDelete...I'm not sure what "Automne" by Alfred Pellan is all about other than it is colorful.
ReplyDeleteLove these works. The Crossing is a great rendering of the winds across the country.!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful landscape paintings!
ReplyDeleteBut I am less impressed by this assortment.I guess I'm an old fashioned sort of guy.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos.
ReplyDeleteThe one at the end by Ghitta Caiserman is mesmerizing!
My favorite one is the one by Alfred Pellan but I also like The Crossing. Beautiful works of art.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful paintings. My favorite is "the Crossing" by Philip Surrey

I certainly took a good second look at all of these paintings.
ReplyDeleteI like the efforts of wind and people in The Crossing...which seems much more windy that the one titled Windy Day!
ReplyDeleteI feel embarrassed that I haven't heard of any of these artists! Thanks for the intro, William.
