Just wanted to say that I deeply appreciate these talks as I have no art background and I don’t want to watch “how to paint” all day. These dives are a boon for me.
Charlie ,,, THANK YOU ,,, for this video of Tom Thomson ,,,Thank you Ian Dejardin,,, this was a total delight as I know that Canadian art is So underrated and most known only in Canada,,, to have it featured in your amazing informative AND Very reasonable fine art talks WELL DONE ,,, thanks again Charlie
Great discussion ! Very inspiring. I only recently found a 1967 McMichael Conservation collection catalogue in a thrift store and found it fascinating. Planning on visiting The McMichael collection as it not too far from me.
" An inverted toilet brush". My goal is to now try to use that phrase as often as I can. The McMichael is by far my favourite gallery that I have ever been to. It still often feels like you are walking through someone's house and admiring their collection. We are very lucky that Ian decided to transplant himself here in Canada. He has done a tremendous job steering the McMichael. Perhaps next time you have him, ask him about doing a talk about David Milne? Another brilliant Canadian painter, and a contemporary of the Group of 7, but also largely unknown outside of Canada. Thanks Ian ( and Charlie & Betty Soo - and your feline overlords ).
The West Wind was on the cover of one of my grade school texts in Montreal in the 60s. I can't remember what the subject was but I've always remembered the image.
I know some people I went to high school with who have either 4 or 5 Tom Thomson sketches stored away. I have no idea what they are and if they are even known.
When you haul a heavy canoe and pack over long portage; logs, and swatting flies; resting will only make it worse, so push on... That thin blue line through the trees is the first glimpse of the lake on the other side. It is salvation. IME that thin blue line is the complete and total point of the painting. You literally go hard over the portage (and boats were crazy heavy back then), but when you glimpse the lake on the other side…. You see the end. It is there.
