Traditions in art

CANADIAN TRADI-
TIONS, a new exhibition
from the Vancouver Art
Gallery Permanent Collec-
tion will be on view through
October. 6.

Works have been
assembled by curator, Scott
Watson, to reveal some of
the major aspects and
developments in Canadian
art from Confederation, to
the end of World War HI
through the post-war mod-

This will be the first public
viewing of these drawings.

In his notes to the exhib-
ition, Watson acknowledges
Harris’ impact on Canadian
art, especially in B.C.:
“‘Lawren Harris believed
that the imagery of the north
was a national spiritual
heritage and he
endeavoured, in the 1920’s
to render the bleak but

sublime northern terrain in
terms

geometry. By 1940, he had
moved on from repre-
sentational art to paint vi-
sionary abstract works which
allied him to the
Transcendentalists of the
United States. He was an in-
fluence on, and an early
supporter of, Emily Carr
and spent the last 33 years of
his life in Vancouver where
he made an enormous con-
tribution to the introduction
of modernist ideas.”

The earliest pieces are
portraits and landscapes by

French academies is evident

‘ty for Canadian landscape
was inspired by Tom Thom-
son and the Group of Seven.
