Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Canadian Magazine of Politics, Science, Art and Literature, May-October 1904, Vol. 23 It is a brave Canadian who will determine to devote his life to art and remain in the Dominion. Our poets have realized this, and, one by one, have drifted like Parker to London or like Roberts, Carman and Stringer to New York. Pictorial art receives even less encouragement. The Government has given aid, but the money has not been wisely spent. Buyers are few, and these for the most part have an inadequate appreciation of the value of paintings. Despite these facts several Canadians have seen fit, after industriously studying abroad, to return to Canada to try to live their art life in their native land. One of these enthusiastic young Canadians with real genius is Mr. Paul Wickson, of Paris, Ontario. As Mr. Wickson has lately been chosen, above all others of our artists, on account of his ability as a landscapist, a figure painter and a painter of all kinds of domestic animals, to paint a series of pictures representing every phase of Canadian farm life for the Canadian building at the St. Louis Exhibition, it will doubtless be of interest to the general public to know something of the man and his art. Mr. Wickson is a native of Toronto, his father having been a graduate of the University of Toronto, and a well - known educationalist. Like many men of real power he seems, however, to have inherited his artistic temperament from his mother. Fortunately for young Wickson his family removed to England when he was a child.
