Dorothy Knowles, “The Orange Tree,” 1993
acrylic on canvas. (collection of the University of Saskatchewan. Gift of the artist, 1995)
by the water celebrates the remarkable and enduring career of artist Dorothy Knowles. Achieved during a period of artistic production spanning 70 years, Knowles’ prolific oeuvre marks a significant contribution to the history of painting in this province and beyond. The exhibition foregrounds her stylistic range through a comprehensive selection of paintings depicting Saskatchewan landscapes near various bodies of water: lakes, rivers, streams, and ponds. The works highlight Knowles’ ability to capture the essence of the prairies throughout the changing seasons, and evoke her intuitive understanding of the interrelatedness between art-making and the natural world.
by the water presents examples from five decades of Knowles’ painting practice, revealing an intimate connection to place that permeated both her life and work.
