Nutt, Principal of the Nova Scotia College of Art) Canada was the de- sire of France and the. capture of Great Britain. Finally the two great peoples settled side by side to mould their new vast land into a thing of order, and of beauty, the sign manu- al of which is manifested in its Fine rt. Curiously enough the role is now re- versed and Canadian Fine Art be- comes the desire of Great Britain | and is of the capture of France. This interesting rivalry is worth even curcorily looking into. Dupre one of the members of the group of landscape painters in France in the middle of the 19th cen- tury who were collectively known as "The Barbizon School of Painters," wrote that "their painting from Na- ture was an excuse for the statement of their capacity for reverence and admiration." Nature to these men was not a thing to copy from. This attitude towards Nature is the key- note of Canadian landscape of today. For the fullness of the meaning of this work one must go back to the early days of the 19th century to the birth of the French nation as distinct from the fantastic semblance of the feudal system that went out for France tragically with the Revolu- tion. The sincerity and robust investiga- tion by the young artists who arose immediately after this event has fin- ally after a century of unabated zeal- ful experiment culminated in France leading: the world in artistic vision. France, eclectic and clever, till the dawn of the last century "absorbed the ideals bequeathed by the Flem- ings and by the Italians and finally in the 19th century those of the Eng- lish water colorists, and of John Constable, and of William Turner which revealed to her the infinite color beauties of ligh., of the open air, of landscape; and then she dis- covered herself; she experimented with technique to express her new consciousness of the essential one- ness of the harmonies of Nature and of man. A new instrument was found whereby man could express emotions and consciousness hitherto circum- scribed. Then came again the reali- zation of form to adequately bound this color, and came also knowledge of the individuality of every member of this wonderful light, with varying degrees of activity--advanc- ing and receding; with their differ- ing powers to induce effects of bright- ness, of solemnity, of playfulness, of dignity, and so on. A new world to' explore and these French Realists, the Barbizon Paint- ers, the Impressionists, and the Neo- Impressionists, and Post-Impression- ists entered into this adventure with the zest of conviction. They followed each new vision of light: until they discovered its limitations and then sensed higher heights. Thus Picasso, Paul Signac and Seuret unfolded the vitality of juxtaposed spots of color as did Van Gogh in his passionate fusion of the' spots into ribbons of color. Light was revealed, now it must be organized and the age long tradition of pattérn came again into its own. Pattern of length and breadth, shape of mass against mass, masses of color that must balance within the area of the canvas, Representation 'has leaped away from imitation. Rhythmic repetitions of forms na- turally appear creating an unsuspect- ed emotional response. now scanned the nearby tree, the lonely forest and" the margin of the lake, and the distant hills and moun- tains, searching for the underlying | rhythm they know must be présent. Music of form now is definitely dis- covered and played by these explor- ers of Nature's ways. Van Gogh, Ganguin, Renoir, and. Cezanne lead the way. Again there is satiety, the pattern, no matter how varied nor how glori- ous its color, cannot suffice, and once again Nature's effects are analyzed. Cezanne senses the vastness of space and insists upon space composition. How to make the mind follow his tracks across the hills, how to make his intention clear as to the objects near at hand. These were his prob- lems. He solved the difficulty by watching botH the object and his own response thereto. He began to rea- lize that certain forms, certain com- binations of lines always were asso- ciated with definite reactions in him- self. He thus found the principle of their | Eager eyes | light i to textures and so on, no matter how 'beautiful these might be could never convey the sense of vi- was capable of conveying. Whatever tale (he wished 'to tell he has now the Knowledge: hieteby to tell it. He was the ok thinker who. terpretation 'of. the lation of every part'of a composition. the intellectual movement in art, in line with the great movements to- wards democracy, has given a new outlook upon the world of appear- ance. The cube, the cylinder, and the cone and all that these imply, form the basis of this atest French Art, Incidentally, Cezanne the Im- pressionist, becomes the father of Cubism and many other isms which are interesting suggestive side-issues but are not vital. Now thjs art expression of the Frenchman Cezanne is as old as the hills. His great contribution to the art expression of this age is his ex- posure of the false claims of the 2) [ camera and all that this aspect of "back to Nature" implies. Intelli- gence 'once more is in the ascendant machine exactness of the camera have been proven to be the antithe- sis of the purpose of Fine Art De- sign, and intelligent selection and re- jection of nature's elements and their reassembling in their most vital rela- tionships, new relationships which are astonishingly exhilarating. All the great artists of the world have in part known and realized these facts, but the marvels of the discoveries and inventions of science during' the past century threw upon the artist a mass of information which only by repeated experiment could be so or- dered as to be definitely usuable. This has been achieved by the French, and this trail blazed by them has been entered upon by Canadian artists. "The Group of Seven," ar- tists of Toronto have applied signifi- cant form, significant mass and sig- nificant color to the interpretation of Canada's lovely lakes, rocky shores, and deep forests, The . Montreal group of painters have applied these findings to the in- terpretation of the figure and to the lovely Quebec snowscapes. From the centre ot the western coast, and to the eastern ocean, this knowledge of true art has spread, and in expres- sion is as varied as is her people and as is the climate of her great domain. Thus in her art France has cap- tured Canada. She has given back in glorified fashion that which artis- tically she took in bygone days. In her art Canada expresses the real unity of her French and British foun- ders.
