After moving to Canada, Kilpin was inspired by the Canadian arts
scene and Canadian landscape to experiment with new types of painting.
Especially after he joined the Montreal Arts Club in 1912, we can
detect changes in Kilpin’s art, particularly in paintings
and prints of the Canadian landscape.
The traditionally-trained, British artist was inspired to paint the
landscape of his new home using a more expressive, impressionist approach.
Works such as The
Harbour, Back
Road to Shawbridge Station, and Clark’s
Creek demonstrate Kilpin’s experimentation with new landscape
techniques. |
