J.E.H. MacDonald, has been in the news recently, with the National Gallery profiling one of his paintings: https://www.gallery.ca/magazine/your-collection/at-peace-among-the-mountains-distant-mountain-by-jeh-macdonald
I was interested to read the commentary on moving from sketches to full size paintings – something we often struggle with!
Then there’s the ongoing mystery of some literally dug-up sketches: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/art-and-architecture/vancouver-art-gallerys-group-of-seven-authenticity-mystery/article34909122/
I have my opinion!
