| biography:
| Artist and writer, born in Ontario, SE Canada. He first received recognition for his work in oil and watercolour in the USA. Impressionism, and particularly the work of Claude Monet, was his greatest influence, and his own paintings endowed the simplest subjects - houses, barns, flowers, trees, and still-lifes - with majestic stature. Many consider his drypoints, made by a method he created, his finest work. His autobiography (1974), journals, and letters offer a store of artistic observations unparalleled in Canadian art. |
