Peter Stoyan (Peter Stoyanoff)

Rocky Mountain Foothills

Peter Stoyan's original drawing of the Canadian West, Rocky Mountain Foothills, dates from 1955. Although most of Peter Stoyan's career took place in Ontario, it is known that the artist lived and worked in both Alberta and British Columbia during this decade. A small town appears in the foreground. Rising mountains dominate the background. Construction appears to be taking place to the left. Perhaps this was related to road work for the Trans-Canada Highway which began in 1948 and was completed in 1962. "Rocky Mountain Foothills" is drawn upon white wove paper and with full margins and is signed and dated by Stoyen in pen. It is a fine, original example of the Canadian landscape art of Peter Stoyan, also known as 'Peter Stoyanoff'.

Note:	Peter Stoyanoff 'Peter Stoyan' : A painter, graphic artist and illustrator, Peter Stoyan emigrated to Canada in 1914. He studied art in Toronto at the Ontario College of Art, under George Reid, J. W. Beatty, Fred Haines and Arthur Lismer. Beginning in the 1920’s Stoyan travelled quite extensively and exhibited both his landscapes and city views during this time. The Ontario Society of Artists and the Royal Canadian Academy both began to include his works in their exhibitions from 1925.
	Around 1930, Peter Stoyan visited New York City. He exhibited there for several years and worked mainly as an illustrator. His work from this early period is signed either, 'Stoyanoff' (his real name) or 'Stoin'. He then returned to Toronto and began signing his work, 'Peter Stoyan'. He remained there for most of his career, with the exception that he both lived and worked in the western provinces of Alberta and British Columbia during the 1950's and early 1960's.
	Peter Stoyan was a regular exhibitor with the O.S.A. (Ontario Society of Artists) and an Associate of the Ontario College of Art (A.O.C.A.).
	This original drawing of the Canadian West, Rocky Mountain Foothills, dates from 1955, when Peter Stoyen is known to have lived and worked in both Alberta and British Columbia. It depicts a small town in the foreground and the rising mountains dominate the background. There appears to be some construction taking place to the left, perhaps this was related to road work for the Trans-Canada Highway which began in 1948 and was completed in 1962.
