Brittany, at the end of the 19th century, had become a mecca for tourists attracted by its beaches; painters soon followed, attracted by the old city, its inhabitants, and...the beaches. Morrice visited Saint-Malo during his first summer in France, in 1890, and he returned many times after, especially between 1899...

The title could be Impression, Dufferin Terrace, a fleeting moment captured at sunset. The Terrace, Québec City's outdoor salon, overlooks the basse-ville and the St. Lawrence river, with Lévis across, and Ile d'Orléans to the left. Morrice... Read more.

Morrice spent his whole working life in Paris, travelling endlessly to find new subjects. Hundreds of drawings and small sketches on wooden panels tell us what he saw, but not how he got there....Read more.

This lovely painting of a stone house at dusk is really a mood... The house is grey but its staircase is pink! We first read the turquoise background as the sky, until we notice, in the upper right, just a whisper of a sailboat: we are far, far above the...

To see a Morrice canvas of Canadian subject matter on the market is a rare occurrence; when you add the fact that it was exhibited at the Paris Salon de la Société Nationale, it becomes an event. The artist’s Québec works account for less than seven percent of his total...

I will begin this retrospective with the comment that in my career I cannot recall a holiday season as vigorous as this. Contemporary art, the market arguably most affected by global economic concerns, surged to levels we have not recently seen. I am as delighted to report this to our...

Rare, early 'salon' painting is one of the best by iconic Canadian artist It has become a rare event to find a major Morrice canvas on the market, especially an early ‘Salon’ painting. La Place Chateaubriand, Saint-Malo is, with the even larger La Communiante (MNBAQ), among the best works by...

Summer saw heightened interest in post-war figurative, emphasis on historical validation Not that many years ago for us and likely for many of our colleagues as well, summer was traditionally a season spent planning and then waiting for clients to return in the fall. For a number of years back...

This sketch by James Wilson Morrice, a real jewel, however is not directly related to any known drawing or canvas. Although hard to date exactly, it is very typical of the kind of 'Etudes' that he showed in Paris after 1905. Since it is signed there is a strong likelihood...

Did you see this written by Globe and Mail art writer James Adams describing the May 27, 2011 Joyner Waddington’s Canadian Art auction? “A hefty 35 per cent of its offerings - 89 lots - went unsold on Friday, and those that did sell more often than not went for...

Before 1900, they were mostly backdrops for human activity: gathering oysters or kelp, drying sheets; more rarely for bathers or people at leisure. It is true that beach resorts were still a recent phenomenon, whose development paralleled that of...

This lovely little pochade of Dufferin Terrace painted in late June 1910 is both a quintessential James Wilson Morrice and an extremely rare summer Quebec subject by him. Although he spent all his professional life in Paris, Morrice often joined his family in Montreal for Christmas. However, soon after the...
