Exhibitions
Kitchener-Waterloo, Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery, Clarence Gagnon, RCA, LL.D, 1881- 1942, January 7 - February 6, 1966.The small snow scenes show the painter's impressive skill in chiselling shapes with light, which can also illuminate the entire painted surface, as in "Ferme du rang Saint-Laurent, Baie-Saint-Paul," circa 1924 (#9). The same location would later inspire other views, including a depiction from farther away, the superb pochade that is part of the Thomson Collection in Toronto. [1]
[1] Painted during the same period, this pochade from the Thomson Collection (PC0853) was also listed in the inventory prepared in Westmount in 1942 (#75) by Lucile Rodier Gagnon.
