Maurice Cullen - The Bird Shop, St. Lawrence Street (ca. 1920)

Born in Newfoundland in 1866 and raised in Montreal, Cullen began his artistic career as a sculptor here in Canada before moving to Paris to study at the prestigious École des Beaux-Arts at the young age of 22. While there, he met artists from across Europe and North America and was exposed to the full breadth of 19th century French art – including the revolutionary style and techniques of the Impressionists. Inspired by these works, Cullen abandoned sculpture and took up landscape painting, eventually exhibiting his works at the Paris Salon in 1894. Shortly thereafter, Cullen returned to Canada and brought the Impressionists’ style of painting to the Canadian wilderness and the gritty cityscape of his new home, Montreal. Using a darker colour pallet than his French counterparts, Cullen became an expert at capturing snowy landscapes and the rosy, semi-haze of twilight – which can be seen in The Bird Shop, St. Lawrence Street. The piece shows the snow-covered St. Lawrence Street at dusk. In the foreground, a horse-drawn sleigh is pulled up a hill in front of a row of snow-covered shops. The sky is a gauzy, silvery grey with soft snowflakes blanketing several darkened figures hurriedly going about their evening. In contrast to the shadowy street, the shop windows are aglow with warm yellows and shimmering greens. Looking closely, the lights inside each shop seem to twinkle in the growing dusk, seemingly inviting viewers in for a warm drink. The bird shop depicted in this work was located on the east side of St. Lawrence Street, south of Sherbrooke Street and just above Ontario Street until its demolition in the early 1980s. While the bird shop may be gone, something about the twinkling lights and hurried snowfall walks feels familiar, even today. (source)

Eclipse Study, 2024. Oil on illustration board. 10 x 8 in. $150 (plus shipping).

Something I learned while documenting this piece is that glossy dark paintings do not scan well, at least not in my scanner. All the ridges in the brushstrokes get highlights on them, and the darker values get messed up due to varying reflectivity and underlayers. It works much better to take a photo, although you lose a lot of detail, especially due to having to angle the piece to avoid glare.
