The student drawings of renowned Canadian artist and Allisonian Alex Colville ('42) from his time at Mount Allison are the focus of a new exhibition at the National Art Gallery in Ottawa.
Entitled Alex Colville: The Formative Years 1938-1942, the exhibit contains 18 drawings in various mediums, many which have not been seen publicly since Colville was a Mount Allison student in the 30s and 40s.
Alex Colville graduated from Mount A with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1942 and returned to teach in the Fine Arts department from 1946-1963, when he took up painting full time. Read more about the exhibition in the Telegraph Journal (Jan 22, 2011).
