A Special Edition Calendar Tribute
As shown in Image 1, the New Brunswick Museum is thrilled to introduce a special edition calendar that pays tribute to the exceptional paintings of one of Canada’s most celebrated artists, Jack Weldon Humphrey (1901-1967) – an unsung hero of New Brunswick’s art scene.
Landscape as Enduring Inspiration
The landscape was an enduring subject throughout Humphrey’s career. The hills, fields, streams, rivers, and shorelines provided underlying inspiration – a constant – as his style evolved from realism to abstraction. Image 2 showcases one of his compelling landscape works that captures this evolution in artistic approach.
National and International Influence
Humphrey’s influence extended far beyond the borders of New Brunswick. He was a founding member of the Canadian Group of Painters and the Contemporary Art Society, demonstrating his impact on the national art scene. His work was exhibited internationally, keeping him at the forefront of the evolving art world. Simultaneously, this global recognition aided in the elevation of New Brunswick’s art community profile.
Jack Humphrey’s talent is well worthy of wider recognition. This celebration of his work is exclusive to the New Brunswick Museum Boutique, available for order today!
