  21. "Rollande," Prudence Heward, 1929.

    Montreal-born Heward (1896-1947) was known for her paintings of female subjects in rural settings, mostly around Fernbank, Ontario, or in rural Quebec.

    She began art lessons early, with interruptions by WWI (when she lived in England) and four years in Paris in the 1920s. It was there she became influenced by modernism and Expressionism, which left a strong impact on her work. She was taken more seriously in the art world, had independent exhibitions in the 30s, and exhibited with Canada's famous Group of Seven, and was strongly allied with Montreal's Beaver Hall Group artistic movement, although she was never an official member and never exhibited with them.

    Asthma and other health problems cut her life short at 50, but she remains a significant figure in Canadian art history. In 2010 this very painting was featured on a stamp by Canada Post.

    Happy Portrait Monday!

    From the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa.

  22. "Autumn," Franklin Carmichael, 1940.

    Carmichael (1890-1945) was part of Canada's famous Group of Seven, an art movement dedicated to creating a uniquely Canadian art based on direct contact with nature.

    Born into a middle-class family, Carmichael studied art both in Canada and in Europe, but with a group of his friends found it frustrating to attempt to address their land's wilderness with a European sensibility. Forming the Group of Seven, they modeled themselves after the sensibilities of Scandinavian painters, who in their words "started with nature rather than art." Confronting nature and depicting it with a fairly modernist style became a Group of Seven trademark, and the same holds true for Carmichael.

    He painted a lot in watercolors, but also in oils, and supplemented his income with work as a commercial designer and printmaker.

    Here we have an autumn landscape, representational and somewhat realistic, but instead of depicting the texture of the trees on the hills, it's just bands of color. But it gets the point across nicely.

    He died young, of a heart attack, but he remains a significant figure in Canadian art history.

    From the McMichael Canadian Art Collection, Kleinburg.

  31. This month, for my #ArtisansCooperative feature, I’m sharing the work of The Storyteller’s Art—a fibre artist in #Ontario, #Canada. Her embroidered work includes frame-able pieces, as well as ornaments. I particularly love the winter chickadee, shown below—I identify with her somehow...

    It’s worth noting that being an official war artist is an important role in Canada’s cultural heritage.

    Canada has sent artists to war with its troops since 1915 when Lord Beaverbrook realized that there was no record of the horrific gas attack on Canadians at the 2nd battle of Ypres.

    Many official war artists went on to become some of Canada’s most renowned photographers, painters and sculptors.

    The Canadian War Museum maintains the collection of over 13,000 pieces but a few key pieces are on permanent display at the National Gallery of Canada.
