Note: |
Hannah Rusk Kelly: A fine late nineteenth
and early twentieth century Canadian painter, Hannah Rusk Kelly first
studied art under Robert Harris, in Toronto. She then continued her education
in Paris, France, at the Academie Colarossi under Courtois, Girardo and
Blanc. Her studies were completed at the Pennsylvania Academy in Philadelphia
under the great American master, William Merritt Chase. |
|
Hannah Rusk Kelly moved permanently to Hamilton, Ontario in 1890. Her
landscapes and portraits were exhibited locally at this time. Beginning
around 1900, however, Kelly moved more and more toward the medium of miniature
painting, both on ivory and in watercolours. These finely crafted works
of art gained for her a national reputation and she began to exhibit them
with such major national institutions as the Royal Canadian Academy, the
Ontario Society of Artists and the Art Association of Montreal. Her miniatures
were also included in the annual art shows of the Canadian National Exhibition
and at the 1915 Pan-Pacific Exposition. |
|
Pansies and Wild Flowers is a superb example of
Kelly's miniature art. Both detail and the full range of colours and shades
are brought forth with the sure hand of a master painter in this demanding
medium. This striking still life was probably painted by the artist around
1920. |
