Part of the Sampson-Matthews Collection, a collection of original silkscreens produced between 1943 and 1957 under the supervision of Group of Seven members, A.J. Casson and A.Y. Jackson.
The Sampson-Matthews print program was one of the largest public art projects in Canadian history, where the most renowned Canadian artists came together during World War II to create a unique war effort art project. At the Government of Canada’s request and in collaboration with the National Gallery of Canada, some of these artists’ best and most inspirational works were selected and meticulously reproduced as oil silkscreens by Sampson-Matthews Limited, Canada’s leading colour printing production firm in the mid-twentieth century.
