Cowley Abbott Auction House Biography and Notes

Born in St. Catharines in 1906, Eric Riordon grew up in Montreal where his family relocated two years after his birth. He was educated at Ashbury College in Ottawa, and McGill University in Montreal. After studying charcoal drawing for a year at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Montreal, he traveled to Paris in 1932 where he trained at the Grand Chaumière and Academy Julian. On his return to Canada, he painted in the Laurentians where he had spent many summers of his youth at the Riordon family summer residence north of Mont Tremblant at Riordon Island on Lac Caché. During the thirties he became known for his fine paintings of the Laurentians.
