British Drawings from the National Gallery of Canada
Organized and circulated
by the National Gallery of Canada
Sponsored by British Columbia Lottery
Corporation and
Simmons, Black & Emsland Insurance
Services
“…contains masterpieces…”
British Drawings from the
National Gallery of Canada features 70 of the finest watercolours and drawings
from the collections of the National Gallery of Canada. This exhibition was on
display at the National Gallery in the fall of 2005 and begins its national tour
in Kamloops. British Drawings marks the first time that a Kamloops institution
has been able to showcase rare works by such British Masters as William Hogarth,
Benjamin West, Thomas Gainsborough, J.M.W. Turner, Dante Gabriel Rossetti,
Charles Rennie Macintosh and Henry Moore.
British Drawings covers the
period from the early 18th to the mid-20th centuries. Highlights include
watercolour masterpieces of the Golden Age (1750-1850), major works of the
Pre-Raphaelites, and seminal drawings and designs from the early Modernists. The
exhibition provides an opportunity for visitors to the Kamloops Art Gallery to
study first-hand the techniques, styles, and subjects of some of the greatest
artists of the past three centuries.
The National Gallery’s collection
of British drawings is one of the finest in North America, and has been
intensively developed by scholars and notable donors for over seventy years. The
Kamloops Art Gallery’s presentation of the exhibition reveals the beauty of the
collection and celebrates our shared inheritance of British art, which has been
so carefully preserved and researched by the National Gallery.
