Otto Rogers
Yellow Bird Motion - warm, bright, cubist landscape, acrylic on canvas

2018

About the Item

Two birds cross a sun yellow sky in this inspired composition by Otto Donald Rogers. Rogers works, rooted in a cubist-constructivist tradition, explore the themes of motion in stillness, unity in diversity. Otto Donald Rogers (1935-2019) taught at the University of Saskatchewan (1959-1988) after receiving his MA in Fine Art from the University of Wisconsin. In 1963, critic Clement Greenberg recognized Rogers as a “big attack” painter and his artwork as having a “fullness of inspiration.” Rogers helped sustain the Emma Lake Workshops, a meeting place for some of North America’s leading artists including Barnett Newman, Jules Olitski and Rogers himself. Rogers’ work is held in more than 30 public collections including: the Art Gallery of Ontario, the National Gallery of Canada, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. "There are few artists, very few, whose work has about it a kind of magic; they sing their own song. Otto Rogers is one of these special few. I love what he does. " Sir Anthony Caro

  • The Painted Flag - pop-art, Canadiana, iconic, acrylic on canvas
    By Charles Pachter
    Located in Bloomfield, ON
    Canadian contemporary artist Charles Pachter was just eighteen years old when Canada famously adopted the maple leaf as its national flag. As a tribute to his birthplace, the pop artist has painted it many times. In this piece, the flag is flying low on the pole suggesting ‘half-mast,’ a universal sign of respect for the passing of a socially important person. The image of the maple leaf is only partially visible as the wind has wrapped the flag around the pole. “My favourite Pachter work is his variations on the Canadian flag...
