Displayed together are two Tom Thomson paintings. The first is Northern River, done in 1914-15.
This is Burnt Land, a 1915 painting.
Displayed nearby is this men's shirt by a Dene artist of the early 20th century, another example of displaying First Nations work among European-influenced art.
Back to works of The Group Of Seven. This is The Fire Ranger by Franz Johnston, another member of the Group, dating to 1921.
Here we have J.E.H. MacDonald's Autumn In Algoma, a 1922 painting.
And for today I finish off with Snow Clouds, a dramatic painting by Franklin Carmichael.
Painters, artists in that genre intrigue me. Mainly because I would love to draw and all the beautiful images I have in my hear don't come out my fingertips--or pen or ink or charcoal. I am doomed.
ReplyDeleteI like the First Nations shirt---buckskin I imagine

Despite I hate winter "Snow Clouds" is my fav.
ReplyDeleteLove that shirt.
ReplyDeleteI have a friend who has an original A. Y. Jackson done before he became part if the Group of Seven and developed that instantly recognizable style.
ReplyDeleteAll fantastic works of art, the cloud formation in the 'Fire Ranger' is stunning 💙
ReplyDelete...art is often about blending cultures!
ReplyDeleteI don't remember ever seeing snow clouds but the clouds and land combine to make a beautiful landscape.
ReplyDeleteGreat display of paintings ~ am more intrigued with First Nations creations ^_^

ReplyDeleteThose Thomson paintings have a bleak look to them.
