New Artist: Dorothy Knowles

We are pleased to announce Dorothy Knowles as our newest addition to our roster of artists!
One of Canada’s most respected artists, Dorothy Knowles was born in Unity, Saskatchewan in 1927 and grew up on a farm overlooking a prairie valley.
She married artist William Perehudoff in Paris in 1951, then travelled around Italy and France, exploring the great museums and cathedrals of Europe before returning to Saskatchewan in 1952.
In the 1960s, Dorothy Knowles attended workshops at the Emma Lake Art Camp led by the American art critic Clement Greenberg (1962), artist Kenneth Noland (1963), Jules Olitski (1964), Lawrence Alloway (1965), and Michael Steiner (1969). All of these workshops had varying degrees of influence on her work, changing her style from a heavy impasto favoured by Greenberg to a more fluid technique preferred by Noland. Most importantly, she discovered the joy of working directly from nature. Thus, weather permitted, she worked out of doors, at times producing finished paintings, at times sketches and photographs which she used in the studio.

Works by Elza Mayhew

"Her sculptures are almost ceremonial figures related basically to architectural forms and spaces, modern in concept yet having affinities with the past, with totemic poles, Mayan stelae, Egyptian stone sculpture, and other hieratic forms through which the artist has asserted the dignity of the human state while reminding us of the awesomeness of the workings of the macrocosm."  - Colin Graham, Canada: XXXII Biennale di Venezia, 1964. Exhibition catalogue.
