Carrying on today, this strong portrait is The Farmer's Daughter, a 1945 painting by Prudence Heward.
Edwin Holgate of the Group of Seven painted Nude In A Landscape around 1930.
Another work by Heward, and of the works I've seen by her, this one is my favourite. Girl On A Hill dates to 1928.
This one is another standout. Heward painted Girl In Yellow Sweater in 1936.
Sky is a painting by Emily Carr, dating to 1935-36.
Forest Interior In Shafts Of Light is another work by Carr, dating to 1935-37.
Here we have another work by Holgate: Totem Poles, Gitsegukla dates to 1927 and features a subject matter that Emily Carr would spend much of her life working on.
Some of Carr's paintings are on the far wall here. In the foreground within the display case are items like moccasins, typical for various First Nations peoples.
Today I finish with Town of Cobalt, by Yvonne McKague Housser, done around 1935.
These I haven't seen

DeleteI didn't know that the Group of Seven did portraits and they are awesome portraits.
ReplyDeleteThey did some. Those they associated with did more.
DeleteI did not know, either!
DeleteIt's a rarity.
DeleteIn this case, I think I like the portraits better than the others.
ReplyDeleteI'm for all.
DeleteMy favorites are the Totem Poles and the Town of Cobalt.
ReplyDeleteThey stand out.

DeleteLa hija del granjero, se ve de fuerte carácter y capaz de enfrentarse a todos los problemas propios de su trabajo.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteInstant classics! One can see why they are proudly displayed in the national museum
ReplyDeleteI agree.
DeleteGesture and Hound in Field have similar rhythm.
ReplyDeleteThey do.
DeleteI relate well to these portraits. They remind me of real people, people you might see or talk with (unlike the more formal portraits of previous eras.)
ReplyDeleteI agree.
DeleteI do envy your life in a *real* city with so many cultural opportunities. Wonderful portrait gallery here. Must add however that I could have looked at your header photo for an hour or so and been happy ... stunning spring photo.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI particularly like the selection of shoes in the display case.
ReplyDeleteMe too.
