I grew up in Ontario specifically Yonge /Eglinton /Dufferin area and being a huge art lover, I grew up admiring the Group of Seven and of course I tried many times to copy or emulate their works. I esp loved Casson, Harris and Jackson and no kid growing up in Ontario back in the 60's and 70's didn't admire Mr. Harvey Kirck. Quite honestly watching and listening to him once again brought back so many wonderful memories for me. TY for sharing this video, because I've just now devoured it.
This is about the 5th time I have watched this , and a couple times pre- internet. He is my favourite all time artist , he was a master draftsman , a phenomenal designer and an incredible painter . His themes for me are secondary to my interest in his art, as a painter myself ,his aesthetics has been a constant source of inspiration throughout my life.
I was privileged to be at a 90th birthday celebration for Mr. Casson at the McMichael Gallery. A wonderful artist.
