Canadian Art The lecture on Canadian Art given by Mr. Harris at Ovenden on Friday. last was & very great success, The lecture was the first of the series to. be given this winter in aid of the Red Cross and Field Comforts funds and the sum.-of $40.00 was realized. Mr. Harris, who is a 'member of the Ont- srio Society of. Artists, is an enthusiastic member of a group of artists who, though for the present-they have given up -psint- ing for fighting, hope in the future when | peace comes to put into effect' their ideals | and so lay: the foundations of' a 'National Canadian - Art. ie In introducing .his 'subject. Mr, Harris quoted George Moore's' definition of art, as the expression of what is best in the life of | 4 nation. He showed how pictures were ; the works of genius just so far as they | fulfilled this condition, He warmly. re- futed the statement that there could never jbe any true Canadian art, saying that on the contrary there were nisny reasons why such an art should flourish and take.a pro- minent place in the life of the country and the- progress: of 'the -world. The lecturer while acktiowledging the debt that Canadian artists. owe to the art- ists: of England and Europe, yet deprecated -| anything in the "nature sof copying their miethods .or style of painting, He attacked the theory thet atmosphere or indistinct- ness of outline' was necessary for artis effect asserting that' the clear hurd outline and vivid coloring. so characteristic of adian soénery was very artistic and equal jor more beautiful than the blurred outlines j of damper climates, { He 'repudiated the ides that it-wiis the work of the artist to reproduce with pho |tographio exactitude, explaining that a | Pine tree painted' just as it st true "to the general. concen 'pine'. than! 4 tree in which detail had. been neglected'! | and the, salient features alone seized.
