Canadian Painting in the Thirties
Vanguard
01 Apr 1975
An article about the National Gallery of Canada?s exhibition Canadian Painting in the Thirties. Charles Hill, Assistant Curator of Post-Confederation Art, who organized the exhibition and wrote the catalogue, suggests that the decade was characterized by a movement between polarities, from nationalism to internationalism, from the Group of Seven to the Contemporary Arts Society, from Toronto to Montreal. The article is illustrated with black and white reproductions of several paintings from the exhibition and includes descriptions excerpted from the catalogue. Works featured are: Fred Varley?s Dhârâna (c.1932), LeMoine FitzGerald?s The Pool (1934), David Milne?s Palgrave I (1931), John Lyman?s The Card Game (c.1935), Miller Brittain?s Longshoremen (1940), Marian Scott?s Escalator (1937), Paraskeva Clark?s Self-Portrait (1933), Phillip Surrey?s Sunday Afternoon (1939) and Lawren S. Harris?s White Triangle (c.1939).
