Description

In the early twentieth century, Florence McGillivray was one of the most accomplished, prolific, and well-travelled female artists in Canada. Her peers recognized her skills and mastery in Post-Impressionistic and Modernistic styles and respected her as a tenured art instructor. But for the most part, history has forgotten her. A name almost everyone has heard of, on the other hand, is Tom Thomson. Tom was a family friend of Florence's, and there is evidence that she enlightened him about the international Modernist movement she had observed in Europe, planting a seed that would change Canadian art forever.

Author Biography:

William Charles Allen has completed three books about Florence McGillivray in addition to his talks and exhibitions about the artist. The Florence McGillivray Project website can be seen at florencemcgillivray.ca. His first book, "A Collection of Works by Florence Helena McGillivray," a limited-edition volume with over 800 images of the artist's work, still has some copies left. They can be obtained by contacting Bill directly via email at wca55@sympatico.ca. The second book,"She is One of the Best," a biography, is available online at Chapters/ Indigo. This third book, "Florence McGillivray: The Forgotten Matriarch of Canadian Modernism," is also available at Chapters/ Indigo, as well as on other online retailers' websites.
