I carry on today where I left off in this exhibit space about the impact of Impressionism on Canadian artists. This is Snowbound by J.E.H. MacDonald of the Group of Seven, a 1915 painting.
This is another work by Tom Thomson, called Opulent October, dating around 1916.
The Guide's Home, Algonquin is the title of this 1914 painting by Arthur Lismer of the Group Of Seven.
Here we have Waiting For The Ferry, a 1927 painting by Robert Pilot.
And this is Old Houses, Baie-Saint-Paul, by Clarence Gagnon, dating to around 1912.
Another work by Gagnon: here we have The Train, Winter, done around 1913-14.
Maurice Cullen painted Hoar Frost And Snow, Laurentians around 1922.
This is another work by Gagnon: The Wayward Cross, Winter dates to 1916-17.
Closing out this set, we have Summer Afternoon, The Prairie, a 1921 painting by L.L. Fitzgerald, one of the other members of the Group of Seven.
Summer afternoon, the Prairie is my favourite . Without the information I would have said it was by a French impressionist.
ReplyDeleteLovely snowy landscapes. 👍
ReplyDeleteMaybe refreshing pics these days?
ReplyDeleteI have no idea, why, best, hottest summer ever and I´m the only one outside - you should steal and hang the pics here in the garden, maybe people would come out (don´t. I like the silence)
They could never have imagined that they would become Canadian icons, and that for many their paintings would define the landscape.
ReplyDeleteIndeed a good idea to show them with the hot weather here. Gives a cooling of the mind.
ReplyDelete...snowy scenes will be here before we know it.
ReplyDeleteI like Snowbound the most in this collection.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely exhibit, I loved all the paintings. Take care, enjoy your day and the week ahead!
ReplyDeleteOpulent October is a reflection of our countryside that time of year!

Have you posted on the Group Of Seven before ? I seem to remember how wonderful they were. Since I don't have a chance to go to Museums anymore I really like this post. Thank You.
ReplyDeleteEl arte no tiene fronteras y el impresionismo viajó de un país a otro.
ReplyDeleteQue tengas una buena semana.
Impressionism was once my favorite style. I tried to buy prints and collect them into albums. I like the fact that you are showcasing a variety through your blog
ReplyDeleteThese are great, thanks William!
ReplyDeleteWe will soon be snowy scenes as depicted in these beautiful paintings! Summer is so fleeting!
