The Montship Collection
by Alan KlinkhoffThe principals at Montreal Shipping were highly receptive to suggestions from my father and then me, to acquire works of art we thought appropriate to their theme. James Thom became president in 1974. I have vivid recollections of Mr. Thom’s visits. Mr. Thom always looked at me and made his customary invitation to meet with him at the office on the next Saturday morning, “for a hanging,” he would say with a wide grin. As the walls filled up, those Saturday mornings became more difficult. We would move this to there, that to here and something somewhere else before we found the perfect spot for his new acquisition.

Adrien HébertMontreal Harbour (Les débardeurs), 1926Oil on canvas20 x 24 inMany of Adrien Hébert’s most sought after paintings are his compositions of the port of Montreal, painted in the 1920s. On Hébert’s works that depict the port as their subject, scholar Esther Trépanier wrote: “When he first began depicting the port, it had been just acclaimed the fourth year running as the world’s largest exporter of grain.
