Grey And Gold

Here we have Grey And Gold, circa 1910, by Florence Carlyle.


This is Still Life, Study By Candlelight, dating to 1893, by Ozias Leduc.


Two works of art by the same artist are close together. This bust is Thunder Cloud, dating to 1913, by Emanuel Hahn, depicting the scout of Blackfoot-French background.


Thunder Cloud is depicted in whole in this Hahn sculpture, Indian Scout, done the same year.


This is Shooting The Rapids, by Frances Anne Hopkins, dating to 1879.


Today I finish with this painting. William Raphael painted Indian Encampment On The Lower St. Lawrence in 1879.

  3. Were I wealthy, I would have no trouble becoming an art collector. And I would invite you to take pictures, William, and we would sip on fine wine and nibble on cheese, Camembert at room temperature and no broken crackers. (Only a Canadian will get the last part).

  7. I find that still-life by candlelight particularly appealing for reasons I can't really explain.

  11. I like the bust of Thunder Cloud. It reminds me of a bust that my grandfather had when I was a little kid.

  15. As an avid canoeist, I can't imagine what it must have been like to shoot rapids with so many people on board.

  20. Interesting how artwork at this exhibit still refers to Indians rather than native Canadians or indigenous people.

    1. For the most part, galleries do use the original name for a painting, and at the time they were done, that was standard terminology.
