Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The St. Andrew's College Review: Easter, 1926
The American and Canadian artists occupy the Southern galleries, and one is able to see this at a glance. For the subjects chosen by the artists could be found in no other lands outside of the United States and Canada. The picture of Celebra Cut, the smallness of the engines, with their smoke going directlv sky-ward, and the hustling men com pared with the solid hugeness of the mountain through which they are cutting. Is typical of the enterprising energy of the American, hurrying to do great things in as little time as possible. Only in Canada could one receive the inspiration to place on canvas such paintings as The in the Snow by Blair Bruce, Pine Island' and a Jack Pine hr Tom Thompson. In these last two. With their firmly set-no tree: welding their limbs in free, graceful movements to the whims of the wild. Tempestuous wind. One is ahle to see the Spirit of unitedness against other nations, with a love of freedom and self - expression inborn in the Canadian people.
