Carrying on with where I left things off yesterday, we have Stormy Weather, Georgian Bay, by F.H. Varley, another member of the Group of Seven, done in 1921.
Here we have another canvas by J.E.H. MacDonald. The Tangled Garden is a 1916 work.
Looking back across to the other side of this space again, with that wonderful collection of paintings.
At the base of the large risen pedestal for the canoe is a description of it.
Back to the Seven. Fire Swept Algoma is a 1920 canvas by Franz Johnston.
The Solemn Land is a 1921 painting by MacDonald, depicting the Algoma region of northern Ontario, a place he particularly loved.
Another member of the Group was Arthur Lismer. This is his work A September Gale, Georgian Bay, done in 1921. We'll carry on with more tomorrow.
It's a wonderful collection indeed.
ReplyDeleteThe first one is a beaut.
ReplyDeleteBtw, Im reading a book, reckon the English title is "Beyond Coincidence: Amazing Stories of Coincidence and the Mystery Behind Them" by Martin Plimmer, Brian King.
One is about a Russian tank-radio device from WWII, found in the trash in 1976 in Totonto by the father of a certain Mike Mandel.
It really still worked and it should be now in the war museum in Ottawa.
Have you seen it?

ReplyDeleteWildfires are very topical, Fire Swept Algoma could have been made in various places today. I think it's a beautiful painting.
ReplyDeleteGostei de ver.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e bom fim-de-semana.

"The Tangled Garden," has a nice appeal, almost like a book illistration.
ReplyDeleteThat canoe stands out in the middle of the museum. Love the paintings
