Canadian Artists Out In The World

 I start things off with a display case in the foreground of the next gallery, with items by Indigenous artists inside.


This area concerns itself with Canadian artists painting abroad. Here we have The Beach, St. Kitts, a 1913 painting by Franklin Brownell.


Henry Sandham painted St. Mark's, Venice in 1901.


Here we have Grand Canal, Venice, by A.Y. Jackson. He was one of the members of The Group of Seven, a group of Canadian artists who were hugely influential on the country as a whole. The painting pre-dates their time exhibiting together, done in 1912.


Emily Coonan painted Ponte Vecchio, Florence around 1921.


Summer Landscape, Saint Sulphice is a 1914 painting by W.H. Clapp, dating to 1914. Below it is Bathing Woman, Capri, dating to 1890, by W. Blair Bruce.


Here we have another work by Jackson, dating to 1912. This is Studio At Etaples.


A Wreath Of Flowers is an 1884 oil painting by William Brymner. 


Head Of A Woman dates circa 1923-28, by Alfred Laliberte.

  1. The distinctive style of A. Y. Jackson is instantly apparent in all his works, whether in Venice or on the Canadian Shield.

  11. Good to see some Canadian artists. I suspect our President has done a great deal in increase Canadian solidarity, and that's not all bad.
