Emily Carr (1871-1945)
Forest Landscape No.2, c. 1935

"As her medium loosened, [Emily] Carr found herself better able to register both the immediacy of her own perceptions and the fluidity of her response to them."

Isabel McLaughlin (1903-2002)
Tree, 1935

"Isabel McLaughlin’s Tree bears down on you. The unusual and engrossing perspective—a steeply upward view from the base of the massive tree trunk—is both a point of departure and a point of reckoning."

Clarence Gagnon (1881-1942)
Village in the Laurentian Mountains, 1925

Gagnon is best known for his rural Quebec landscape paintings. Although he trained and maintained a studio in Paris for much of his career, he never lost his love of the Laurentians and the Charlevoix region of eastern Quebec, which inspired many of his paintings.

O’Brien was appointed in 1880 as the first president of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts, Canada’s first national arts organization.

Joyce Wieland (1930-1998)
O Canada, 4-16 December 1970

Wieland emerged on Toronto’s experimental visual-arts scene in the early 1960s. The first living woman artist to be granted a solo exhibition at the NGC, she blended pop-art strategies with a sly sense of humour. O Canada represents a pair of lips as they sound out the syllables of the national anthem.

Mary Pratt (1935-2018)
Red Currant Jelly, 1972

Pratt often took domestic imagery as her subject, believing that commonplace objects were “worthy of a close look.” The acclaimed Newfoundland painter experimented with light to transform an ordinary moment into a charged dramatic scene.

Alex Colville (1920-2013)
To Prince Edward Island, 1965

Colville is one of Atlantic Canada’s most celebrated artists. It always seems as if something is just about to happen in his paintings. For each outward sign of calm, there is a corresponding suggestion of looming danger.
