John Lyman lived abroad for many years; in 1909, he moved to France, where he studied with Henri Matisse. He was wealthy and led a nomadic life, traveling through Europe, North Africa and the West Indies. Lyman exhibited in Paris at such venues as the Salon des Artistes Indépendants, Salon des Tuileries and Salon d’Automne. In 1931, he returned to Canada, where he quickly rose to prominence as a modernist in Montreal’s art community, showing through the Eastern Group of Painters and the Contemporary Arts Society. Louise Dompierre wrote that Lyman was “one of the key figures to emphasize internationalism and to spread ideas which were to lead to major artistic changes, not only in the thirties but in the following two decades as well.” Equestrian Act embodies core characteristics of Lyman’s mature work: a sense of equilibrium, simplicity of form and the use of colour to articulate space. Forms are streamlined and finely balanced – one horse calmly regards the other, as it promenades in its show gait. In Equestrian Act, Lyman has captured a fascinating scene of horse enthusiasts enjoying the refined performance of dressage.
