In The Company of Artists

David Milne


Easel, 1935

David Milne's exhibition at the Art Gallery of Ontario shows the watercolor legacy of this Canadian artist.

So many influences, from Mattisse to Monet, Modrian to Nolde, and the Group of Seven, are apparent in his work that I still need time to digest it and figure out the significance.

Of course, in the end, Milne is totally unique, an authentic amalgam of all these influences.
