Forest Interior

 This striking portrait commands attention. Girl In Yellow Sweater is a 1936 portrait by Prudence Heward.


Girl On A Hill is also by Heward, dating to 1928.


This display case features works by Inuit artists, including work made from the ivory of tusks of animals of the high Arctic.


Two works by members of the Group of Seven hang nearby. This is The Beothic At Bache Post, Ellesmere Island, a 1929 painting by A.Y. Jackson.


Here we see Birth of Clouds, by F.H. Varley, circa 1929.


Emily Carr was a contemporary of the Group of Seven whose work concentrated on the Pacific Coast and the indigenous cultures that were found there. Forest Interior In Shafts Of Light dates circa 1935-37.


A contemporary work by an indigenous artist. Here we have Raven Sun Transformation Mask, an undated work by Marven Tallio, strongly bearing Pacific Coast tribal influences. 


A display case features a drum, surrounded by moccasins and boots.


Another work by Carr. Sky was painted in 1935-36.


And this is her painting Totems, circa 1930.
