Stupefaction is the word! How have we not seen these pieces before here. Fantastic exhibit.

Exceptional exhibit; I am so grateful I was able to see it (twice so far with plans for one more visit before it leaves).

Wow! What a great artist. Too bad many of the paints, especially the smaller ones have such Large frames one cannot see the art. Tom Thomson, wow! Thank you

Contemporary art is no more art really. it's turned to be political statements. Therefore anyone, with or without artistic talent and literacy and vision, can claim to be an artist. It's the time of bananas taped to a wall.

Is there a schedule for the exhibit to travel to northern communities yet?

Esq je peu vous edèe😊

Bon jour je suis artiste marocain

I am a super-fan of your artwork because in my humble opinion you perfectly portray the deep connection between cultural identity and the natural world. I work with the elements of nature in my art practice and arriving to this intersection has been a long-slow and enjoyable process.

The fibre/fabric/paper mediums she uses are very interesting

Amazing critique of Maudi's art work and life. Sarah's musical talents are beautiful and poignant, what a nice addition to the Maud Lewis Collection discussion. Thank you!!!

globalist agenda in art form, i think i'll pass, people are tired of this type of imagery, theyre tired of the gender agenda and the race baiting and just the out and out fakeness of the globalist agenda that your a foot soldier for, no that your art does nothing but further the divide between citizens

Great presentation. Engaging, and not snobbish. Sharp! I am an amateur painter and you have iinspired me! Merci!

❤ Looks great

Very interesting conversation...I recently started as Curator for the Midland Cultural Centre. miigwech

I went to this exhibit, it was haunting. They photoshopped endangered or extinct bird species with real human faces to personalize them, evoking more remorseful and ‘humanizing’ feelings towards these animals. It shook my soul when I first saw it, especially when paired with the eerie vocals and synth

Awesome! 👍🏽

Super proud to be a Brooker.

Amazing work 🔥🔥🔥

Thank you for recording and uploading this talk. I attended this exhibition twice and was overwhelmed by it. Gratefully, - Martin in Huntsville, Ontario

Talk me to sleep, Ian. Great speech. Great accent.

Very informative! Thanks so much for sharing. There's a criminally small amount of content about Thomson and the Group of Seven online, let alone any other Canadian painters. CBC Gems put out some docs already! Come on!

Unapologetic for Canadian art? Who's he talking about? Canadians aren't apologetic for our art. We love our art. Canadian art represents what we, as Canadians are all about & what shapes us as a people. Where has this joker been living for these past years? I, for one, could care less what he likes or dislikes. But I guess this entire lecture is about himself.

I started watching this with an open uncritical mind but this guy is nuts, especially his opening. Thomson is standing on a wet rock fly-fishing which I've done a hundred times. If he's concentrating on anything it's keeping his balance. "Born with a gun & fishing rod in his hand". What country boy in that period wasn't? I was & I was born almost a century later. My mother's family are all from that part of Ontario. They owned property around Algonquin Park & knew Thomson quite well. He wasn't a saint or a living god, as portrayed by this joker. OMG. Tom was simply a young, gay man who loved to paint. My grandparent's knew it; everybody knew it. It just wasn't a topic for discussion around the dinner table. It was a different time, but this guy's approach is way over board with his approach.

Please, stop psycheism! People with a psychological disability suffer tremendously under the constant battle against psycheist discrimination.

1:26:35 after slavery Jamaican traded cod with Scotia

Curator of the McMichael Not born in Canada... how inappropriate!

We had finally planned to go tomorrow.. our first and last chance.. and now we are having this Winter storm! I’m devastated. Thanks for taping this video.

Thank you!

Glad I skipped this nonsense and went straight to see the beautiful paintings

Fascinating and interesting talk. A wonderful way to prepare oneself in advance of seeing this unique and relevant special exhibition.

@52:16 Frank Brangwyn was born in Bruges so it’s not that odd that there’s a museum dedicated to him there.

Sorry to lose Ian - great ambassador for Canadian art. Best of luck, Ian!

Always been an admirer of the Group. Have painted reproductions of Thomson and other G of 7 painters. Enjoying the lecture very much. Cheers.

I absolutly LOVED the Tom Thomson exhibition! He was such an incredible artist!

One of my favourite atists

Who cares.

So two brushes walk into a bar, and one says: what’s your favourite colour, and the other replies…….. My brush joke 😃

There is no sound?

Thank you

Such a wonderful recitation…thank you❤️

Wow thank you for this presentation, it shows how important it is to research and document our history as the distortion of history is profound but works well to maintain the oppression of people of African descent .

Magical timeless work ...🎥❤
