- Painted in the winter of 1916-17 and purchased by the National Gallery in 1918, The Jack Pine is once again on a European tour. After being part of Painting Canada, Tom Thomson and the Group of Seven, at the Dulwich Picture Gallery in London, UK, this work and others are now on their way to Oslo's National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design. The exhibition opens in Oslo on Jan 29. Before The Jack Pine left Canada it underwent the most extensive cleaning and restoration in its history. This short, behind the scenes video, takes you through just how that restoration was done.
Thank you for taking such good care of this great artwork!
He has a unique style very eye catching.
Very cool.. And yes, thank you for such great work and care of such a great Canadian Treasure, the man and his art..
Learning about art. Uplifting.
I have two of his paintings.
thats awesome, original oils?
I have a question? If you have a Tom Thomson Oil Painting where i can bring to authenticate? and where i can sell to it?
Hi, I maybe can help you, I have allot experience in authenticating artworks
Try using a good sound system
Does anyone have any idea how much it costs to have a restoration like that completed?
Probably a great amount of government money. I would imagine in the two hundred grand range. Cheers
@@tonybinda6905 Any particular restorer of art can achieve the same results and it won't cost that much.
I wonder if 100 years for now another restorer will be cleaning up the painting yet again, cleaning up mistakes done this time. They will have more knowledge and more futuristic modern tools to work with.
It also doesnt help that he didnt prime his surfaces properly from what I've heard, many of his sketches are painted right on bare unprimed wood right? I mean he should have known better at that time.
Most of the time he was scrambling to find anything to paint on ... he did not have much money until he started to sell some of his work.
Did he care or worry? I think he preferred fishing.
He had been commissioned to paint and he painted. 100 yrs from then, maybe he figured he wouldn't be around and didn't Care.
.. A master at what he did. Too early in his life and career to realize the impact his art would leave.
If he knew about priming and ignored it. It sounds like the man we admire. Change that, change the man change the results..
@@Jst4funn You would be mistaken like most do with artists. The ole "starving artist" myth, the ole "he didnt really care too much"... Yea he did. You dont reach that level of maturity in your art unless you put a ton of focus on it. The idea he cared more about fishing and only did art just as a side thing. There is no documented proof of this at all, its absurd. Why does it have to be one or the other? Most artists have many interests but it doesnt take away in any way from their passion for their art. His entire life was centered around the arts and crafts, lettering, etching, painting. He was at the center of the Toronto art world as a young man. He knew about priming of course, he was surrounded by artists who primed their work. It is said the reason he didnt prime is because he liked working on raw wood, he probably didnt know that it wouldnt last. And all artists are somewhat concerned with their artwork lasting, at the very least they dont want collectors to come back complaining.
Very distracting background music from goonies for some reason hahahah
Who has to watch this for art? I do its sooooooooo annoying! But this is great art!
Maybe it's best that they stop putting this irreplaceable painting on tour!
20 000 - 50 000 $ i would assume
