Maurice Cullen and His Circle presents nearly forty oil paintings from the collection of the National Gallery of Canada by Maurice Cullen and his contemporaries, James Wilson Morrice and William Brymner. Contrasted with the rural Canadian winter landscapes for which Cullen is so well known, these works reveal the complex relationships that figure in the urban and rural boundaries around such cities as Montreal and Quebec at the time. The exhibition also features works by artists whom Cullen is known to have influenced, including his stepson, Robert Pilot, and a future member of the Group of Seven, A. Y. Jackson. The exhibition is curated by Crystal S. Parsons and circulated by the National Gallery of Canada. image: Maurice Cullen, The Ice Harvest, (detail), c. 1913, oil on canvas, 76.3 x 102.4 cm.
