Members are invited to bring one guest and join us on June 29, from 6pm to 8pm for a free AGGV Members’ Only preview of Generations: The Sobey Family and Canadian Art, organized by the McMichael Canadian Art Collection and curated by McMichael Canadian Art Collection Executive Director & Chief Curator, Sarah Milroy.
Generations: The Sobey Family and Canadian Art tells the story of one family’s visionary engagement with Canadian and Indigenous art, braiding together works by early European newcomers like Cornelius Krieghoff; titans of Canadian 20th century art, the Group of Seven, Tom Thomson, David Milne and Emily Carr; a rich display of works by the Quebec Impressionists, as well as Automatiste painters Jean Paul Riopelle and Paul-Émile Borduas; and works by trail-blazing artists of today, including contemporary Indigenous artists Kent Monkman, Brenda Draney, Brian Jungen and Annie Pootoogook, as well as leading international artist Peter Doig. A recurring theme in the exhibition is the North Atlantic, its role in history, and its impact on artists’ imaginations.
