Lot Report

Provenance:

Estate of Randolph Stanley Hewton.
Private Collection, Ontario.

Literature:

Alexander Young Jackson, “A Painter’s Country”, Toronto/Vancouver, 1958, pages 7 and 10.

Note:

Jackson writes: “In 1907, I went to Paris. All right-minded Montreal artists aspired to go to Paris and most of them wanted to study at the Academie Julian. It was not the instruction that attracted them to Julian’s, [but] the association with students from all over the world...These were happy years in France untroubled by thoughts of war; there were friendly people everywhere, living conditions were easy, and art, so far as we were concerned, was largely a matter of good craftsmanship.”
