By descent to the present owner, Ontario.

Literature:

Frances K. Smith, Andre Bieler, An Artist’s Life and Times, Toronto/Vancouver, 1980, page 84, plate 42, reproduced.

Note:

Smith describes this work as a later treatment of the road theme in which the elements of the subject - the road, the poles, smoke, houses and people - become subservient in their rhythmic treatment to the decorative patterning of the whole.
