Two Caribbean Scenes by Brownell are “Rare Treasures of Their Kind”

Janvier 26, 2019

At a time of scarcity for outstanding compositions in good restorative condition by Brownell, these Antillean scenes are two stunning examples from the body of work that most scholars suggest is the high point of his oeuvre. The majority of pictures from this relatively small series are housed in institutions or remain in private hands, making At the Well, West Indies and Street Scene, West Indies rare treasures of their kind.

A Play of Color in Emily Coonan’s Whimsical "Duck Pond" (c. 1910)

Août 30, 2017

Montreal artist Emily Coonan's whimsical and bright "Duck Pond" vignette is a great example of her distinctive visual vocabulary. An expert colourist familiar with the emergent modernist syntax of her time, the painting foretells her eventual emphasis on painterly effects in her later landscape works.

A Closer Look at Robert Pilot’s Vivid "Golden Autumn, Sillery" (1931)

Août 30, 2017

Newfoundland-born artist Robert Pilot was surrounded by Master artists from an early age; he became Maurice Cullen's stepson at age 12 and later studied under William Brymner. This painting depicting the Sillery district is part of the beautiful and difficult to capture autumn scenes which Pilot created.

Août 30, 2017

Of the Beaver Hall Group women who maintained their friendship for the better part of 30 years, [Sarah Robertson] was conceivably the least prolific, making fine paintings by her especially rare and precious for Beaver Hall Group collectors.

La Terrasse Dufferin, Québec: L'ouvre estivale canadienne la plus importate de Morrice Août 30, 2017

James Wilson Morrice natif de Montréal, habitant quelques temps Paris et ayant beaucoup voyagé, prenait le temps de visiter Québec et la Côte-de-Beaupré, chaque fois qu'il traversait l'Atlantique. Puisqu’il venait le plus souvent pour les fêtes de fin d’année, presque l'entièreté de ses tableaux canadiens représentent des scènes d’hiver. Une seule pièce représente un paysage estival, La Terrasse Dufferin, Québec, peinte en 1910.

Rare Emily Coonan painting likely self-portrait

Coonan works among the rarest of Beaver Hall women Août 30, 2017

Although some might suggest that Emily Coonan was “reclusive,” it is more than likely that she simply did not fit with the social profile of the other Beaver Hall Women, the letter being from primarily of upper-middle class protestant heritage while Coonan was of Irish Catholic roots and living in the working-class neighbourhood of Pointe St. Charles. Coonan was twenty-three or twenty-four years of age when she painted this important work and pursuing her formal art studies with William Brymner at the School of the Art Association of Montreal

Albert H. Robinson: "The Painter’s Painter"

Août 30, 2017

Albert Robinson R.C.A. (1881-1956) is one of the foremost artists of the high period of modernist painting in Canada, a period which saw the development of a national school of art inspired by Tom Thomson and the Group of Seven. A friend of A.Y. Jackson's, Robinson was one of three guests who participated in the first Group of Seven Exhibition in 1920 and he also exhibited with the Beaver Hall Group.

Morrice's Only Known Major Canvas of Canada in Summer

Painting sold by Klinkhoff family conceived when artist visited parents for Golden Wedding Anniversary Août 30, 2017

James Wilson Morrice was born in Montreal, lived in Paris and travelled half the world, but each time he crossed the Atlantic he found time to visit Québec City and nearby Côte-de-Beaupré. Most of his Canadian subjects are winter scenes, since he usually came home for Christmas. Only one important canvas can be associated with a summer trip, The Terrace, Québec. There are a few smaller works; A view of the Humber River in Toronto is dated 1894 by its first owner, a college friend of Morrice; a two-month stay in the summer of 1903, during which Morrice spent some time at Beaupré with Maurice Cullen and Edmund Morris, did not seem to have inspired him at all.
