"Shaping Saskatchewan: the art scene 1936-1964"

Shaping Saskatchewan: the art scene 1936-1964, from the permanent collection of the Mendel Art Gallery, examines a remarkable period in the province’s artistic development. The artworks demonstrate a synthesis of international concerns within a regional sensibility. This era reflects an almost utopian sense of optimism and artistic productivity. Shaping Saskatchewan provides a regional context for the concurrent exhibition, The Automatiste Revolution: Montreal 1941-1960.
