Text, Sprache: English, Frederick H. Varley by Peter Varley : Preface by Jean Sutherland Boggs, introduction by Joyce Zemans. Varley, Frederick Horsman 1881-1969 , THIS IS THE FIRST major book celebrating the art of Frederick H. Varley, Canada's greatest portrait artist and innovative member of our most famous collection of landscape painters, the Group of Seven. His best-known painting, Stormy Weather, Georgian Bay has been a symbol of the Group of Seven, and is, according to A. Y. Jackson, one of the three greatest paintings in the history of Canadian art. Nevertheless, Varley's greatest achievement as an artist, is in his ability to portray the essential oneness of man and nature, the relationship between the figure and the landscape. As Joyce Zemans says in her historical and aesthetic appreciation of Varley's art, "he sought in nature the human experience, believing that 'the mind surely only exists woven through the fabric of all things." This book is a tribute to Frederick Varley's achievements as portraitist, war artist, and interpreter of nature. Peter Varley, his son, has written a moving biographical-autobiographical text tracing Frederick Varley's life, it is entitled "Memories of my Father". In addition, he has accompanied each painting with specific commentary drawn from Varley's letters, conversations with friends and family and, of course, his personal recollections.
