BIBLIOGRAPHIE
A.J. Casson, My Favourite Watercolours, 1919 to 1957, 1982, foreword by Paul Duval, page 122


From 1947 to 1950, La Cloche was one of A.J. Casson’s principal painting places. In 1947, he stayed for two weeks in a lodge on La Cloche Channel. He commented, “I found the Cloche Hills an excellent place to sketch…..I was attracted by the Jackpines and the white rocks covered in lichen.” This view from the hills down into La Cloche Channel is a stunning perspective, very reminiscent of Group of Seven period compositions of lakes viewed from high perches on hillsides. This fine painting would have been produced from a sketch done on the spot, with Casson selecting which aspects of the landscape to emphasize. Casson contrasts the deep blue of the channel and the rich green of the iconic windswept pine with the striking pale quartzite rock formations. Their jagged forms stand solid and immovable against the softly rippling water below. Known for his fine eye for composition, Casson leads the viewer’s eye upward and downward simultaneously: upward from the golden lichen on the rocks in the foreground to the pine, which bends forward, joining to the far shore, then downward to the water. Inlet – Cloche Channel is an extraordinary work, replete with the scintillating atmosphere of this Ontario wilderness scene.
