BIBLIOGRAPHIE
Sandra Paikowsky, Goodridge Roberts, 1904 - 1974, McMichael Canadian Art Collection, 1998, page 161

Goodridge Roberts returned to Georgian Bay in the summer of 1955 after a European sojourn. Full of energy, he found a renewed appreciation for the geographical area of Pointe-au-Baril and Parry Sound. These landscape paintings were technically praised. Sandra Paikowsky wrote, “By applying the paint in short, rectangular movements, he animates the sky and water to give it a more organic personality and to undermine the ‘remoteness’ of Georgian Bay.” Very different in style from the landscapes Roberts painted of Quebec, these Georgian Bay landscapes had their own personality. Open flat vistas of rock and water create a feeling of expansiveness while staying true to the topography of the region. A showing of his European and Georgian Bay works was organized by the Dominion Gallery in October of 1955. The 1950s was a significant period internationally for Roberts; five of his paintings were included in the XXVI Venice Biennale, alongside the works of Emily Carr and David Milne. This secured his place as one of the leading Canadian landscape painters of his generation.
