BIBLIOGRAPHIE
Evelyn Lloyd Coburn, F.S. Coburn: Beyond the Landscape, 1996, page 76
By 1931, success and recognition were firmly established for F.S. Coburn. In earlier years, innovative Quebec painters such as James Wilson Morrice, Maurice Cullen and Coburn himself had difficulty in finding acceptance for their work due to the prevailing bias towards traditional European painting. Although Coburn trained in Europe - in Germany and Paris - he was influenced by the fresh colour and light of the revolutionary Impressionists. However, the Group of Seven awakened appreciation for Canadian landscape, and Watson Art Galleries in Montreal built a market for Coburn’s winter scenes. Although Watson catered to the demand for European work to survive, he persevered in marketing Canadian artists. Coburn’s work, “with its acres of snow, vivid blue skies, shifting clouds, birches and fir trees” populated by habitants and their horses and sleighs, was deeply expressive of what was truly unique about rural Quebec.
