Little, John Geoffrey Caruthers (1928-) "Summertime" (1954) Description (FR): Huile sur toile signÃ©e en datÃ©e en bas Ã droite John Little 54. Ãtiquette de la Galerie Watson au dos. ConsidÃ©rÃ© comme lâun des premiers peintres urbains de sa gÃ©nÃ©ration grÃ¢ce Ã des oeuvres prenant place principalement dans les rues de MontrÃ©al et de QuÃ©bec City, John Little, artiste MontrÃ©alais nÃ© en 1928, a su imposer son style et son talent, afin de devenir un membre permanent de lâAcadÃ©mie royale des arts du Canada, ainsi que lâun des artistes les plus recherchÃ©s du pays. Câest ainsi que cette Åuvre, intitulÃ©e Summertime, rÃ©vÃ¨le un sujet inhabituel, colorÃ© et pour le moins surprenant de par son voyeurisme totalement assumÃ©. Cette toile de 1954 sâinscrit alors comme une Åuvre prÃ©liminaire de lâartiste, qu'il peint peu aprÃ¨s son retour de New-York, au dÃ©but des annÃ©es 50. Portant toujours une Ã©tiquette de la Galerie Watson, cette peinture illustre le soutien apportÃ© par William Watson envers le peintre Ã cette Ã©poque, une confiance qui propulsera Little au plus haut de la scÃ¨ne artistique QuÃ©bÃ©coise. Description (EN): Oil on canvas signed and dated lower right John Little 54. Watson Gallery label on the reverse. Considered one of the first urban painters of his generation, with works set mainly in the streets of Montreal and Quebec City, John Little, a Montreal artist born in 1928, has imposed his style and talent to become a permanent member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts, as well as one of the country's most sought-after artists. This work, entitled Summertime, reveals an unusual, colorful and, to say the least, surprisingly voyeuristic subject. This 1954 canvas is a preliminary work by the artist, painted shortly after his return from New York in the early '50s. Still bearing a Galerie Watson label, this painting illustrates William Watson's support for the painter at the time, a confidence that would propel Little to the top of the Quebec art scene. Dimension (PO): 20" x 24" Dimension (CM): 51 x 61 cm Rapport de condition: Sur demande, nous nous ferons un plaisir de rÃ©pondre Ã vos questions de maniÃ¨re dÃ©taillÃ©e.

JOHN LITTLE, R.C.AHIVER - RUE HENRI JULIENoil on canvassigned; also signed, titled and dated ‘77 on the stretcher 24 ins x 30 ins; 61 cms x 76.2 cms Provenance:Continental Galleries Inc., Montreal Private Collection, TimminsThere is little use trying to resist the paintings of John Little (b. 1928) and certainly there must be few who have experienced Montreal who do not succumb to the degree to which the painter evokes the very heart of the place.The precise perspectival lines and attentive handling of architectural elements evidence Little’s academic training and time spent working at his father’s architecture firm. His favourite subjects are the winter scenes of working class neighbourhoods, which he records with a practiced familiarity.While there isn’t a season that Little hasn’t mastered, in some way the joys of winter are something quite particular to the Montrealais, making Hiver - Rue Henri Julien (the street is named after the well-known Montreal painter) quite special.Estimate: $15,000–20,000
