Inhaltsangabe:

The work of Kathleen Munn and Lowrie Warrener represents some of the earliest abstract art in Canada as it first emerged during the 1920s and 30s. Munn, a New York trained and Toronto-based artist, exhibited regularly until the late 1930s. Warrener also worked in Toronto during the 1920s and 30s. They both contributed paintings to the official Group of Seven exhibition held in 1928 and were included in that year’s influential Yearbook of the Arts book compiled by renowned artist and writer Bertram Brooker. Having achieved success, both careers were cut short by the Depression, war, and lack of support. This publication provides a rare look at the work of two of Canada’s most innovative modernists. Their unique paintings, drawing and prints, which range from Cubist images of people to electrically hued and patterned landscapes, diverged radically from the mainstream art of the day.
