New Acquisitions: Historical Work
Petley Jones Gallery is excited to reveal new available work from our historical collection.
"It didn't matter what a thing looked like or was to be, the basic structure was what was most important . . . It's more than composition." Edwin Holgate (1882-1977)
Edwin Holgate was a draftsman, portraitist, landscape and figure painter, printmaker, book illustrator, muralist, war artist, and educator. As a central figure in the development of modern art in Canada, Holgate forged his own path balancing traditional and modern stylistic approaches. Holgate frequently accompanied his friend A.Y. Jackson on painting expeditions, including a trip to Gitxsan territory on the Skeena River in British Columbia with the anthropologist Marius Barbeau in 1926. His work was included in several Group of Seven exhibitions and he became a member in 1929.
