Summer Harvest

 This display case features a multitude of First Nations moccasins and boots gathered around a drum, a common element in many tribes.


Here we have Myself, a 1933 painting by Paraskeva Clark.


This is Gesture And Elizabeth, a 1936 painting by Gordon Davies.


Gesture itself is the work of Elizabeth Wyn Wood. The concept is from 1927, though this particular version dates to 1967.


One more work from a member of The Group of Seven. Lawren Harris painted Black Court, Halifax, in 1921.


Here we see Summer Harvest, Hanover, a 1935 painting by Carl Schaefer.


And this is Ontario Farmhouse, a 1934 painting by Schaefer.


I leave off today with these sculpted works by Inuit artists.

  1. I love the two portraits. The women looked cool and confident. And the farmhouse looked perfect.
