Alfred Laliberte carved Head Of A Woman from marble between 1923-28.
Marc-Aurele De Foy Suzor-Cote painted Port-Blanc In Brittany in 1906.
In The Laurentians, Winter is a 1910 painting by Clarence Gagnon.
Winter Evening, Quebec was painted by Maurice Cullen around 1905, depicting the old city on the heights as seen from the opposite shore.
We now start getting into art by the Group of Seven, the collective of Canadian artists who exhibited together for a number of years. We start with Lawren Harris and this 1914 painting, Winter Morning.
This is Frozen Lake, Early Spring, Algonquin Park, by A.Y. Jackson, another member of the Group, dating to 1914.
Same year, but not a member of the Group- though she's associated with them. This 1914 painting by H. Mabel May is Street Scene, Montreal.
I leave off today with this. Canvases of the Group of Seven are on the far wall of this large gallery space. At the heart of the room is a large traditional indigenous canoe, a work of art in its own right.
Nice works of art. Have a nice weekend William :)
ReplyDeleteThey are.
DeleteWell shared.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteUnfortunately I don't know any of these painters, but the style of painting was a almost the same during this time. The painter with the endless name should change his name, impossible to remember ! Marc-Aurele De Foy Suzor-Cote. You rather only remember that the name was very long and forget the painting !
ReplyDeleteTry having to write thar name in the notes based on a photo!
DeleteAnother fine selection of artworks. I like the marble head and I always seem to be attracted to the paintings of the Group of Seven.

DeleteAmazing how Cullen depicted the snowy old city so beautifully!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteIt is sometimes difficult to make landscape paintings interesting. But your five artists, who I don't know, took the task very seriously. And largely succeeded.
ReplyDeleteI think so.
DeleteThe Group of Seven are always nice to see.
ReplyDeleteThey are.
DeleteThe paintings are lovely!
ReplyDeleteIndeed.
DeleteAlways like the Group of Seven.
ReplyDeleteMe too.
DeleteI wonder if Alfred had a particular woman in mind when he carved that head.
ReplyDeleteWho knows?
DeleteCreativity personified ~
