FRANKLIN CARMICHAEL, O.S.A., R.C.A.
  • FRANKLIN CARMICHAEL, O.S.A., R.C.A.
Provenance:

Private Collection, Ontario

Literature:

Megan Bice, “Light and Shadow: The Work of Franklin Carmichael”, McMichael Canadian Art Collection, Kleinburg, 1990, page 64, cat. no.74, for a graphite sketch entitled “La Cloche Mountain Tops”, circa 1934.

Note:

The period during which this work was painted was a significant one for Carmichael. A year earlier he was elected to the Royal Canadian Academy. He also designed and built his La Cloche cottage on Cranberry Lake that same year. In 1937, he became President of the Ontario Society of Artists.

This lot could have been based on Carmichael’s studies such as his graphite sketch of “La Cloche Mountain Tops” (circa 1934), which bears a close resemblance to “Summer Landscape”.
