Harold Town (1924-1990) has been dubbed the "Picasso of Canada" for his ever-changing aesthetic and perennial creativity, and he exhibited widely throughout Canada. He is best known as a founding member of the Painters Eleven, having coined the term for this artistic group himself. The name refers to the eleven Abstract Expressionist artists who banded together in Toronto between 1953 and 1960: Tom Hodgson, Jack Bush, William Ronald, Alexandra Luke, Oscar Cahén, Jock MacDonald, Ray Mead, Hortense Gordon, Walter Yarwood, Kazuo Nakamura and, of course, Harold Town. Although Town experimented with different media, he had an important and lifelong connection to printmaking. In fact, the National Gallery of Canada, after discovering his prints, invited Harold Town to represent Canada in the 28th Venice Biennale in 1956. The present 1973 work is an excellent example of Town's masterful printmaking, during his mature period. The work was acquired from the Sears, Roebuck and Co. art collection. It has been removed from the original vintage frame and ships unframed, and affixed to the original back board with the Collection's unique inventory number (#3303) on the verso.
