The exhibition will feature small-scale works by established Saskatoon artist, Dorothy Knowles. Dorothy is one of Canada's top landscape painters. She studied art in the late 1940s and early 1950s at night school and summer school in Saskatoon and Emma Lake and briefly in London, England. A turning pointing her career came at an Emma Lake Artists Workshop in 1962 when she was encouraged by the American critic, Clement Greenberg to pursue painting from nature regardless of the contemporary predominance of abstraction. She has continued to paint prolifically in watercolour, acrylic and oil throughout her career - working in a variety of different manners and using a range of subject matter. Her works bring to life the rich and colourful landscapes that surround her home and studio and her paintings have found homes in some of the most prestigious museums in Canada. |
