Private collection, Knowlton, Quebec.Bruce Le Dain was a fine artist represented primarily by Galerie Walter Klinkhoff and Continental Galleries throughout a distinguished career that spanned 40 years. It was around 1976 when Bruce abandoned a successful career as an executive in the advertising industry to paint full time. Due to his commitment and discipline and dedication to everything he undertook, the Royal Canadian Academy of the Arts invited Bruce to become its president in order to navigate the Academy through some difficult financial problems. Bruce LeDain’s contribution to the arts is well respected and exemplified by this fine painting. He was also a strong humanitarian, notably with his efforts on behalf of Katimavik and Montreal’s Douglas Hospital.
