This formidable looking sculpture looks like something out of science fiction or Tolkien. Torso From The Rock Drill is from 1916, by Jacob Epstein.
Henri Matisse painted Nude On A Yellow Sofa in 1926.
This is The Pianist, a 1915 painting by Liubov Popova.
I couldn't find the name of this contemporary work out in the side spaces that deal with more contemporary works, an area that I tend to pass by.
On my way out, a photograph of Young Woman Bathing by Aristide Maillol is always in order. This limestone sculpture is roughly life sized, and dates to 1919-21.
A view up a step ramp coming from the upper level.
And one last shot taken within the glass tower, with Parliament Hill visible as well. I hope that you've enjoyed this visit to the National Gallery of Canada.
'Torso From The Rock Drill' is a great sculpture and I like your last two pictures of the building.
