Provenance:

Masters Gallery Ltd., Calgary.
Private Collection, Calgary.

Literature:

Anne McDougall, Anne Savage: The Story of a Canadian Painter, Montreal, 1977, page 44.

Note:

McDougall writes that Savage’s paintings show the influence of the Impressionists: “Anne Savage sought light and rhythm and had a sure hand with a purple shadow...” Such a description could well apply to this work as could a further reference to another of Savage’s paintings: “The colour scheme is mauve and lavender and the subject matter a composition of willowy tree trunks each capped by a wide, whimsical, asymmetrical, balloon-shaped whirl of foliage, also mauve-lavender.”
