The CJM

beatonna:

The Royal Ontario Museum displays original artwork from The Drama of the Forests by Arthur Heming in it’s Canada rooms.  Taking note of the title, I looked it up and sure enough, the text is at Project Gutenberg.  It’s interesting to look through, and as the painting suggests, it is insanely Canadian.

Part of what makes Heming’s works so striking is that he was told in art school that he was color blind, and so he created toned down, heavy feeling works of a palette of black, white and yellow for much of his life.
