π¨ #AJCasson, Canadian painter (member of the Group of Seven), #DOTD 20 February 1992. #Art #Painting
yesterday, while researching A.J. Casson at OCAD Library, I suddenly recognized this sculpture, which I've so often seen in past without giving it a second glance (despite library staff's affectionate seasonal wardrobe transitions), as a bust by Kenneth Jarvis I'd seen in my reading πΏπ¨π

High-angle view of a snow-covered urban residential scene of the 1920s. Many rooftops, varying in shades of beige, cream, light brown, and muted yellows, are layered and angled. Snow sits heavily on all the rooftops, creating a smooth, even texture across them. Different coloured buildings are visible beneath the snow, showing various shades of red, tan, and muted green hues. Windows are visible on several buildings, and chimneys with a subtle reddish-brown colour peek out from beneath the snow. The varying angles create a sense of depth, like looking down upon a cluster of densely packed townhouses. This is a painted scene, and the brushstrokes suggest a stylized or simplified depiction of architecture. The artist's signature, "A.J. Casson", is in the lower right quadrant of the image.
