Condition Report

Fair Condition: Discolouring noted; some paint loss

Provenance

'J. Merritt Malloney's Gallery' label verso. From the collection of Marguerite West Bigwood Rogers, by descent to the current Saskatoon owner. Johnston was a family friend, as the Bigwood Rogers family had a cabin in Northern Ontario near Johnston's rented cottage at Balm Beach, and the painting was either a gift from the artist or was purchased directly from the artist in the early or mid 1930s.

Notes

Frank Johnston was born on June 19, 1888 in Toronto, ON. In 1910 he studied art in Philadelphia and worked in commercial design in New York. In 1911, he began working at the commercial art firm Grip Ltd. in Toronto. The firm employed five of the seven artists who would form the iconic Group of Seven - Johnston, J.E.H. Macdonald, Frederick Varley, Arthur Lismer and Franklin Carmichael. In 1918, he was commissioned by the Canadian War Memorials to record Canadian flying personnel in training. From 1918 on, he joined Lawren Harris and J.E.H. MacDonald on their sketching trips to the Algoma area. In 1920 Johnston was invited to join the Group of Seven, but his association with it was brief. He did take part in the Group's first exhibition of 1920, but by 1921 he had left Toronto to become Principal at the Winnipeg School of Art. He formally resigned from the Group of Seven in 1924. In 1927 he was returned to Toronto as principal at the Ontario College of Art. In later years, Johnston’s style became more realistic and exhibited an interest with the qualities of colour and light, especially light on snow. His subjects range from the countryside of the Wyebridge area, to northern Quebec, and the Northwest Territories.
