Event Description

The Navy: A Century in Art features 46 works from many of Canada’s leading war artists, depicting naval activities from the First World War to the present day. On tour from the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa, Ontario, where it was presented in 2010 to mark the Centennial of the founding of the Canadian navy. The exhibit shares the legacy of the navy experience as it moves into a new century.

Works on display are drawn from the museum’s unparalleled Beaverbrook Collection of War Art, featuring paintings from both official and unofficial war artists including: Arthur Lismer, Alex Colville, Harold Beament, Donald C. Mackay, Anthony Law, Ted Zuber and Pegi Nicol MacLeod. These famed artists have captured the Canadian naval experience in times of war and peace — from dramatic depictions of the Battle of the Atlantic to intimate portraits of life at sea and ashore. Their perspectives show the human face of this experience, while helping to illuminate the important role that the navy has played in Canadian history for more than 100 years, and how it has remained a potent symbol of Canadian identity.
