Dulwich Picture Gallery
presents a major exhibition of one of Canada’s greatest modern painters, David
Milne (1882-1953). It will showcase, for the first time in the UK, a wide
selection of his oil paintings alongside watercolours, drawings and
photographs, to reveal an artist of true originality and vision.
Through periods of intense
experimentation, often working in solitude in the wild, Milne developed an
extraordinary body of landscapes, fusing influences from Monet, Matisse and
Cezanne into a bold modernist language of his own.
Arranged chronologically,
the exhibition follows Milne’s artistic development as he moves from the
bustling sidewalks of New York to the war-torn landscapes of northern France
and Belgium and back again to the woods, fields and skies of the northeastern
US and Canada. Focus will be given to Milne’s experimentation with colour, line
and negative space and his mastery of painting the visual effects of light and
reflection.
“This is a modern artist
for the ages, and one of Canada’s best kept secrets.” - Sarah Milroy,
co-curator of the exhibition.
