Lot description - from the online catalogue*
Provenance:
The Collectors' Gallery of Art, Calgary
Private Collection, Calgary
Exhibitions:
Edmonton Art Club Exhibition, Easter 1956
Notes:
There is a certain way that the light hits the land in Alberta. Many artists have been fascinated by it; Illingworth Kerr, A.Y. Jackson, and A.C. Leighton sought to recreate it in rolling fields, country roads, and among the Rockies. John Snow called our province "this hard, cold, northern land", and grappling with its forms, textures, and disappearing horizon lines has long been a rite of passage for painters.
