About Canadian Art
Landscape, portraiture, printmaking and other forms respond to varied places and experiences. Local artistic traditions and international exchanges have shaped different approaches to colour, materials and representation. A broad national category cannot stand in for the particular identities and circumstances of individual makers.
Read the artwork's attribution for its documented cultural or geographical context. The place depicted, the artist's origin and the location of production can differ; more specific information should take priority over a general national heading.
