A little..

gem by Colin Graham, RCA (1915-2010), new to the gallery!

Here's a quote from Colin during his time as Director of the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria (1951-'73), about artist Maxwell Bates:

"The remarkable achievements of these six or so years have scarcely been seen in the rest of Canada. For this reason The Art Gallery of Greater Victoria has chosen to organize as one of its 1966 centenary projects a retrospective exhibition stressing this period which will subsequently travel to other Canadian centres."

Mercurio is currently showing works by Colin Graham, as well as Max Bates and other Limners members as part of our ongoing house collection.
