BIBLIOGRAPHIE
Paul Duval, A.J. Casson, Roberts Gallery, 1975, page 151

“In 1966,” Paul Duval writes, “Casson turned his creative attention to Quebec Province for the first time in a serious way. Before that, his experience painting in French Canada had been limited to a two week trip to Lake La Pêche in 1940.” The 1966 trip was with fellow Group of Seven painter A.Y. Jackson, and they stayed at Grenville, at the farmhouse of Jackson’s friends Munroe and Joyce Putnam. The two artists sketched in Harrington, Avoca and Montebello – Avoca being A.J. Casson’s favourite area. In 1968, Casson’s paintings from the Grenville area were featured in an exhibition at Roberts Gallery. Casson was enjoying much success with his exhibitions there, and was receiving great recognition in general at this point - Group of Seven members being well on their way to attaining the status of national treasures. Clear Morning - Quebec is a tranquil meditation on pure landscape. The foreground screen of trees, showing a turn to autumn colours, is a symphony of tonal pale greens and golds, while beyond it the background mountain looms in blue-shadowed mystery.
