About
A year after the city was devastated by the Halifax Explosion, Harold Gilman (British, 1876-1919) and Arthur Lismer (Canadian, 1885-1969) were working in Halifax as war artists. Both commissioned by the Canadian War Memorials Fund to record the war activity on the home front, the two men struck up a friendship and worked side-by-side on occasion. With the effects of the explosion still clearly visible, Gilman and Lismer turned their attention to the bustling harbour. Produced in conjunction with the 'Halifax Harbour 1918' exhibition, this compelling book traces the artists' meticulous approach to their mission, the challenges of working during the aftermath of the tragedy and their role during a critical moment in the history of Canadian landscape painting. Exhibition: National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa, Canada (12.10.2018 - 17.03.2019) / Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, Halifax, Canada (12.04. - 02.09.2019).
