David Milne Watercolors: "Painting Toward the Light"
November 8, 2005–January 29, 2006
Drawings, Prints, and Photographs Galleries, 2nd Floor
Canadian painter David Milne (1882–1953) spent nearly 25 years working in the United States during the early part of his career. Much of his time was spent in New York City (1903–16), where he exhibited modernist works in the 1913 Armory Show, and in upstate New York (1916–18, 1920–21, 1924–29), where he was inspired by the natural scenery. These stays, as well as his travel in Europe during World War I and his final years in Canada (1929–53), precipitated shifts in his subject matter and painting style. The 45 watercolors in this retrospective, the first outside Canada, reintroduce Milne to an American audience.
Accompanied by a publication.
The exhibition is made possible by Rosamond Ivey.
The exhibition is organized by the Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto.
