CULLEN, Maurice Galbraith
CULLEN, Maurice Galbraith – Maurice Cullen is considered to be the father of Canadian Impressionism because he was the first artist to skillfully adapted French Impressionism to Canadian conditions. He is best known for his paintings of snow and his depictions of ice harvest scenes, featuring horse-drawn sleighs traveling across the frozen waters of Quebec during winter. The Laurentians were his greatest love and he painted there often. He excelled in painting crisp northern light.
