The Comforts holidayed there for decades, often accompanied by A.Y. Jackson or Will Ogilvie. While this work is not dated, it fits well within the period of production (after 1957) that saw Comfort produce works like Northern Sunset in which he explored the use of highly expressionistic colour using intense tones of one colour, in particular, either blue or red.Estimate: $8,000–12,000

Note:Bon Echo Rock has been an inspiration to many Canadian painters. Lismer, Jackson and Casson have all painted the impressive rock face located on the eastern side of North Mazinaw. The name Mazinaw has been anglicized from the Algonquin phrase for “painted image lake” referring to the pictographs found on the rock formation. Comfort’s contribution to Canadian art and culture is significant. An accomplished artist, he was also an acclaimed teacher, writer, and arts administrator. From 1959-1965, Comfort was Director of the National Gallery of Canada, and shortly after was made Officer of the Order of Canada for his extensive involvement in arts administration and lifelong belief of the importance of art integrated within society. The title of this lot refers to a memorial inscribed on the face of the rock: “Old Walt 1819-1919 / Dedicated to the democratic ideals of Walt Whitman.”Estimate: $3,000–4,000

CHARLES FRASER COMFORT, O.S.A., P.R.C.A.NEW MOONoil on canvassigned and dated ‘69 30 ins x 60 ins; 76.2 cms x 152.4 cms Provenance:Collection of Dr. Steven Demeter, TorontoPrivate Collection, TorontoLiterature:Margaret Gray, Margaret Rand and Lois Steen, Charles Comfort, Canadian Art Series, Agincourt, Ontario, 1976, page 57 and page 63, reproduced in colour.Note:Describing the painting as “remarkable,” “mystical” and a “beautiful example of Charles Comfort’s use of symbolism,” Gray, Rand and Steen, emphasize the study in contrasts that this painting embodies. Hard, cold rock is set against warm flesh; the new moon and the primeval stone sound off one another and the delicate tracery of light cast by the celestial body balances the deeply shadowed pools cliffside. Comfort was a distinguished war artist, Emeritus Director of the National Gallery of Canada, champion of the Group of Seven and founding member (later President) of the Canadian Group of Painters. While his work is often overshadowed by his more famous Group colleagues, nonetheless, it is found in major collections throughout Canada.

CHARLES FRASER COMFORT, O.S.A., P.R.C.A. THE PEEP-HOLE TREE, GEORGIAN BAY oil on canvassigned 20 ins x 26 ins; 50.8 cms x 66 cms Provenance:Wallack Galleries, OttawaPrivate Collection, MontrealLiterature:Margaret Gray, Margaret Rand and Lois Steen, Charles Comfort, Agincourt, Ontario, 1976, page 69 and page 45 for a closely related sketch entitled Peep Hole Tree.Note:"Naples yellow, yellow ochre, raw sienna, raw umber, burnt umber... both Alizarin crimson and either vermilion or scarlet vermilion, two blues, cobalt and cerulean... then viridian. That would be how I'd set my palette..."Comfort's landscapes are characterized as much by their bold and balanced graphic qualities, as they are by their underlying sensuousness. The artist pares down the work to the barest of forms: straight lines juxtapose warm curves; rocks, trees and clouds ooze with rich colours. His landscapes shine brightest when situated in Haliburton and the Maritimes, but especially in Georgian Bay. As Gray, Rand and Steen write, "Time and again we are made aware of Comfort's superb sense of colour, harmony and tone - there is unerring beauty, even a voluptuous quality to his best landscapes, especially in the flesh tones of the Georgian Bay rocks."
