Painting and Sculpture in Canada (Classic Reprint) by Melvin Ormond Hammond PDF Summary

Book Description: Excerpt from Painting and Sculpture in Canada For several decades in the early creation of Canadian art there were no native painters. There was no impulse to paint, no school in which to study, and few buyers when the work was done. Occasional wan dering painters arrived, pausing a while; others came and made Canada their home. Paul Kane, one of the first of these, was an Irishman whose father came to Toronto about 1818, and opened a wine shop. The youth travelled and studied art for four years in Europe, chiefly 1n Italy, returning in 1845. Interested in Indian life, due to his contact with the Mississaugas around Toronto in boyhood, Kane spent three years in the North and West of Canada, following the Indians and painting them in their lodges, hunting buffaloes with them, and living their primitive life generally The result was a large collection of pictures, often fantastic in drawing, but usually faithful in dramatic quality, and now of permanent value as records of aboriginal life. Many of these pictures are possessed by the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
