Wingham work at museum
The early easel paintings of
important Canadian artist George
Agnew Reid (1860 - 1947), best
known for his large-scale genre
scenes with moralistic overtones,
are featured in an exhibition at the
Art Gallery of Ontario until Oct. 19.
The exhibition, Sympathetic
Realism: George A. Reid and
Academic Tradition, organized by
Christine Boyanoski, Assistant
Curator of Canadian Historial Art
at the AGO, traces Mr. Reid’s
evolution and maturation as an
academic artist through 57 paint

main career ambition was to
become a painter and he pursued

Schoolof Art and Design (today
Ontario College of Art), and
Studied with such well-known
Canadian artists as Lucius O’Bri
en, John Fraser, and Robert
Harris, who introduced him to the
‘French method of painting.’
In the pursuit of his goals, Mr.
Reid enrolled in 1882 in the
Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine
Arts in Philadelphia, where the
