“A SQUALL ON GEORGIAN BAY ”
(Art Association o f Montreal)
BY A. Y. JACKSON
is about to be erected. This exhibition, an entirely
new departure in Canada, attracted much interest.
Following upon this was the Second Annual
Exhibition of “ Little Pictures.” This is an effort
by a few younger painters to popularise their work
in the homes of the middle-class citizens, where
wall space is insufficient for the display of large
canvases. Many new aspirants for painting
honours were invited, and the work of students
was included. Mr. J. E. H. Macdonald, A.R.C.A.,
among the older men, was the most successful
exhibitor. Later the Women’s Art Association
threw open their Galleries for a loan collection of
lace and art-needlework, with contributions from
the South Kensington School of Needlework, and
Lady Egerton’s famous Greek lace collection.
'Phis was followed by an exhibition of paintings
by Canadian artists, past and present—a very
interesting display. At the same time members
of the Association staged many examples of their
own handiwork as craftswomen. Many beautiful
objects were shown. The Association numbers
2000 efficient members, with galleries and work¬
rooms in the principal cities of Canada. To the
President, Mrs. Dignam—a very capable painter
and craftswoman—is largely due the success of
the Association, which has been in existence for
nearly thirty years. J. E. S.
WINNIPEG. — Among the more
recent Art Institutions in the
Colonies is the Winnipeg Museum
of Fine Arts, which was opened
in 1912, with an exhibition of Canadian Art. Since
then the Art Committee have placed on view
exhibitions by contemporary artists of note, Conti-
nental as well as British.
The exhibition of the Royal British Colonial
Society of Artists, which has just closed, aroused
great interest and was largely attended. Last
month a series of water-colours by several notable
exponents of that medium were shown, along with
a collection of black-and-white work by such known
illustrators as E. J. Sullivan, R. Aiming Bell,
T. Heath Robinson, and many others.
