Canadian Painter Tom Thomson Reconsidered with the AGO’s Andrew Hunter
Andrew Hunter, the Fredrik S. Eaton Curator of Canadian art at the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO), will be giving a free talk from 1-2 p.m. on Monday, November 23rd 2015, about two exemplary examples of Tom Thomson's work and the centre of a current exhibition at the AGO.
Tom Thomson's two paintings, The West Wind and The Jack Pine, are among the most iconic images in Canadian art. Thomson, while not a formal member of the Group of Seven, was closely associated with them and his painting style and subject matter reflects the group's interests (or vice versa?).
The talk will be held on Monday November 23rd, 2015 at 1 pm in the Elizabeth Beeton Auditorium at the Toronto Reference Library. All are welcome to this free program.
Andrew Hunter is a well known art curator and prolific author on Canadian art and most recently associated with the AGO's Alex Colville exhibit.
