Lot Report

Provenance:

Marlborough Godard, Toronto/Montreal.
Private Collection, Ontario.

Literature:

David P. Silcox and Merike Weiler, Christopher Pratt, Toronto, 1982, pages 34, 110 and 111, colour plate.

Note:

Pratt, describing this print, writes: I spent many Easter Holidays at my aunt’s house in Bay Roberts. I associate Good Friday with the way the fields and houses looked at that time of year: pale, spent, everything exposed and vulnerable. I started with the title, so this print grew out of those associations. Winter was more comforting than spring: we had trees to cut for Christmas, but Easter lilies were from another part of the world.”
