In Celebrate Nature we present selections from the AGA's permanent collection.
From the time when the Group of Seven found inspiration in nature 100 years ago to this day, nature remains an inspiration to many artists. Mountains, bodies of water, forests, and waterfalls provide a splendor of colour with change of seasons, storms and calmness; always a place to create and contemplate. A few pieces in this exhibition depict Algoma and Lake Superior in its vastness, beauty and ruggedness. This selection features paintings, drawings and prints by A.Y. Jackson, Franklin Carmichael, Arthur Lismer, A.J. Casson, J.E.H. MacDonald, Frederik Varley, Lemoine Fitzgerald, York Wilson, George Paginton, Ron Bolt, Alan Collier, David Bierk, Will Ogilvie, Kazuo Nakamura, Valerie Palmer, Lydia Hargreaves, Emily Carr, Carl Schaefer, and Caven Atkins. |
