Lot 51
PHILIP HENRY HOWARD SURREY, R.C.A.
Provenance:
Private Collection, Montreal.
Literature:
Paul Duval, Four Decades, The Canadian Group of Painters and their contemporaries /1930-1970, Toronto/Vancouver, 1972, pages 91-92.
Note:
Duval writes that Surrey has found more visual richness at home than many widely travelled artists have found in their searches. “During the 1960s, he produced a series of works which captured the light-studded mystery of night in the metropolis as no one else has done.”
