BIBLIOGRAPHIE
Megan Bice and Mary Carmichael Mastin, Light and Shadow: The Work of Franklin Carmichael, McMichael Canadian Art Collection, 1990, page 39


The spectacular physiography of Ontario’s La Cloche Mountains, with its striking white quartzite rocks, expansive lakes and panoramic views over an untamed wilderness, made a vivid impression on Franklin Carmichael on first sight in 1924. The region became his lifelong favourite painting place, and he built a log cabin at Cranberry Lake in 1935. Carmichael was an expert watercolourist, and along with F.H. Brigden and fellow Group of Seven painter A.J. Casson, formed the Canadian Society of Painters in Water Colour in 1925 to promote the medium. Carmichael extolled its qualities as follows: “As a medium, it is capable of responding to the slightest variation of effect or mood. It can be at once clean cut, sharp, delicate and forceful or subtle, brilliant or sombre, including all the variations that lie in between.” At La Cloche, Carmichael executed watercolours such as this sensitive painting on the spot, and he produced larger works in the studio. This impressive, sweeping view captures an ethereal light, with its misty glow at the far horizon and the high cloud formations illuminated along their edges. Open and airy, La Cloche Hills has an inspiring and transcendent atmosphere.
