Between 1928 and 1965, A.Y. Jackson painted Canada’s far north many times. His earliest trips were by steamer ship and train, but in 1938 Jackson was contacted by mining promoter Gilbert LaBine to see if the artist would like to fly with him from Edmonton to his radium mine in the Northwest Territories. Never having experienced that particular area of the country, Jackson gladly accepted, arriving in August and staying until October. LaBine’s mine was located on the shores of Great Bear Lake. The mine was founded when LaBine, one of Canada’s most renowned prospectors, discovered a rich deposit of pitchblende, an ore from which radium and uranium can be refined. In Jackson’s depiction of this rocky hill near the mine, his earthy palette and undulating rhythms are expertly contrasted with his calm, open sky, which contains subtle touches of complimentary pink.
