Provenance:
Estate of Robert Noakes
Exhibitions:
86th "Annual Exhibition", Ontario Society of Artists, Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto, 1958
Literature:
Roald Nasgaard, "Abstract Painting in Canada," Toronto/Vancouver, 2007, page 109
Notes:
Rayner grew up surrounded by art, as his father, grandfather and great-grandfather had all been artists. He learned a sense of discipline through constant painting and learning to master technical painting skills, before he began an experimental painting career. His artwork draws from both figurative and abstract sources of inspiration.
