Poetry and Perception: James Wilson Morrice and Tom Thomson
James Wilson Morrice and Tom Thomson were two outstanding Canadian artists who earned national and international attention for their work; two great painters who could found inspiration in entirely different parts of the world. Thomson's iconic status as a painter of the Canadian landscape is enriched by the mythology and mystery surrounding his death by drowning in his beloved Algonquin Park. Morrice, a Canadian who left the country to live in France, savoured the landscape of the great city of Paris, painting the lively and captivating scenes of city life. This exhibition includes 20 works by each artist, and absolutely captures not only their distinctly different painting styles and subject matter, but also their common passion for the world they captured on canvas. (Organized by the National Gallery of Canada )
