William Townsend, Southeast from 110th Street I, c.1962. Oil on canvas board. Collection of the Artist's Estate. 

The exhibition William Townsend: Painting Alberta, Details of Canada closes today at your AGA.

William Townsend (British, 1909-1973) came to Canada for the first time in 1951 to teach painting in Banff, Alberta. For the rest of his life he returned repeatedly to teach in Alberta, surveying the state of contemporary painting across the country while en route.

Featuring paintings of Edmonton and the Rocky Mountains from the artist’s estate, and informed by journal entries about Canada, this exhibition celebrates Townsend’s legacy.
