Edward John Hughes Sold at Auction Prices

Figure painter, Painter, Landscape painter, b. 1913 - d. 2006

(b North Vancouver, British Columbia, 1913; d Duncan, British Columbia, 2007) Canadian painter. Hughes attended the Vancouver School of Decorative and Applied Arts until 1935. After graduating, Hughes began a commercial art firm. Aside from designs and portraits, the firm received commissions for murals, one of which was included in the San Francisco World’s Fair in 1939. Upon joining the Army that same year, Hughes became an Official War Artist, serving until 1946. Group of Seven member Lawren Harris recommended Hughes for the Emily Carr Scholarship; in addition to Harris's support, Hughes received recognition from A.Y. Jackson and George Pepper, who nominated him to join the Canadian Group of Painters in 1948. That same year Hughes produced one of his most important early works, the powerful canvas entitled Qualicum Beach, with its dark palette, primitive style and sideways vantage point, acquired by Hart House at the University of Toronto. Hughes moved to Vancouver Island in 1951. In 1970, Hughes began to change his color palette; although he did not significantly lighten it until after 1974. By 1980, Hughes was receiving increasing recognition and in 1983, a retrospective exhibition organized by the Surrey Art Gallery traveled across the country to venues that included the National Gallery of Canada. Hughes turned his full attention to watercolor in 1991, as he found it difficult to stand at his easel for the long hours needed for his detailed canvases. In 2001 Hughes received the Order of Canada and in 2005 he was honored with the Order of British Columbia.

Hughes, Douglas & McIntyre, Vancouver/Toronto, 2002, pages 87, 146 and 148.1967, the year this work was executed, was a banner year for E.J. Hughes (1913-2007). He was approached to have a solo exhibition at the Vancouver Art Gallery and was elected an Associate to the Royal Canadian Academy. Mill Bay captures the timelessness that first attracted Montreal dealer Dr. Max Stern to Hughes. Stern was Hughes’ dealer for 35 years, having discovered him quite by chance in the early fifties. Ian Thom quotes Stern as expressing the sense that "Hughes’ rendering of trees, forest and landscapes seemed to bridge time and space for me." Though they only met a few times in person, and their relationship remained quite formal, the two men conducted a robust correspondence and developed a close relationship over time.Mill Bay is located about eight and a half kilometers east of Shawnigan Lake on Vancouver Island, where Hughes lived. This work evidences the process for the detailed field sketches that would inform his paintings. Thom writes: "In order for (Hughes) to ensure he would be able to accurately reproduce a scene from a sketch years later, Hughes developed an elaborate system of coded colour notes to enable him to accurately recreate his visual impressions." For example, "RV" indicated red violet or "pm” with the "m" underscored meant pale medium (tending toward medium).Beautiful but moreover fascinating, field sketches such as these are intriguing to collectors who feel they act as an insightful conduit into an artist's creative process.Estimate: $3,500–5,000

Thom, "E.J. Hughes", Vancouver, 2002, pages 144, 155-156 and 169, illustrated in colour for another view entitled "Eagle Pass at Revelstoke, 1961" (collection of the Vancouver Club).Jacques Barbeau, "A Journey with E.J. Hughes: One Collector's Odyssey", Vancouver/Toronto, 2005, pages 61-63, #'s 39 and 42 for the artist's pencil studies for "Eagle Pass at Revelstoke" (both in the Jacques Barbeau Foundation Collection).Note: In 1963, Hughes received a second Canada Council grant. Ian Thom writes: "The sketching trips that Hughes made with the support of the Canada Council took him and his wife throughout the interior of British Columbia..."In his travels, Hughes came upon the marvelous panorama that is Revelstoke. This depiction of the British Columbia locale is especially captivating as it illustrates the landscape from a bird's eye view; the delicately composed town below is a stunning contrast to the wild nature of the mountainous region across the water. There is a consistent, meticulous manner in which Hughes constructs his composition; the perfect lines of the architectural features of the town, the soft lines of vegetation, ripples in the winding water and delicately defined snow-capped mountains attest to the artist's skill in depicting an impressive variety of surfaces in a signature, large-scale composition. In his discussion of another view of Revelstoke entitled "Eagle Pass at Revelstoke, 1961", Thom notes how "the contrast between the relatively busy foreground and the mountains in the background was [for Hughes] a challenge." In a letter to the artist dated March 9th, 1962, art dealer Dr. Max Stern suggests that he "not close up the landscape...but let the eye of the onlooker travel into the distance, which you always render so beautifully." A vast, impressive landscape is precisely what Hughes achieves in "Above Revelstoke, B.C".

Hughes was appointed an Official War Artist in 1942 and, after his posting to Kiska, Alaska, returned to Ottawa in 1944, where he was based until 1946. During his time in Ottawa, he worked on war sketch material executed in England and Alaska, and developed a process of making highly worked drawings he called cartoons. He also depicted the city itself, and this finely finished portrayal of Ottawa's impressive Parliament Buildings is a rare urban drawing from this period.

Hughes, RCA : 40 ans avec la galerie / E.J. Hughes, RCA: 40 Years with Dominion Gallery, 1991 E.J. Hughes had first spent time in Ottawa from 1944 to 1946, while serving as an Official War Artist. In 1956, he went on a cross-Canada trip sponsored by Dr. Max Stern, his dealer at Montreal's Dominion Gallery. Stern had discovered Hughes during a trip to Vancouver in 1951, and thus began a long and fruitful relationship. During this 1956 eastern trip, Hughes sketched the cities of Montreal, Toronto, Calgary and Regina, a departure from his usual landscape subjects. In recalling this trip, Hughes wryly commented, "Perhaps Max Stern thought he could make another Canaletto out of me." His works from the 1950s are much sought after, since Hughes's mature style was fully crystallized, and this is an outstanding example of his eastern cityscapes. Finely detailed, this watercolour of the iconic Château Laurier Hotel with the imposing War Memorial in the foreground captures the urban grandeur of Ottawa's wide boulevards and stately architecture. This work and lot 87 in this auction were chosen to represent the Cities of Canada section of a 1991 exhibition honouring Hughes's forty-year relationship with Dominion Gallery.

Stephen 32 1/4 x 25 inches 81.9 x 63.5 centimeters signed and dated 1963 and on verso signed, titled, dated and inscribed with the Dominion Gallery inventory #D33442 Literature:Leslie Allan Dawn and Patricia Salmon, E.J. Hughes: The Vast and Beautiful Interior, Kamloops Art Gallery, 1994, page 43 Ian M. Thom, E.J. Hughes, Vancouver Art Gallery, 2002, page 158 The E.J. Hughes Album, The Paintings - Volume I, 1932 - 1991, 2011, reproduced page 39 Provenance:Dominion Gallery, Montreal Private Collection, British Columbia In 1963, E.J. Hughes received his second Canada Council grant, and with the $3,000 he was awarded he was able to travel to the Interior of British Columbia to areas such as the Thompson Valley and the Fraser Valley near Lillooet, and as far east as the Alberta Rockies. The subject of this exceptional oil is Mount Stephen, located in the Kicking Horse River Valley of Yoho National Park, half a kilometre east of Field in British Columbia. Hughes used a recent purchase, a Pontiac Acadian car, to access his subjects, carry his art supplies and protect his pencil sketches from sudden bad weather. Hughes did not learn to drive until he was 45, but found the use of a car to be most liberating. His success in the early 1960s made this possible - his paintings were used for the covers of two BC Telephone Company directories, he had completed a Canadian Pacific Railway mural commission and the Dominion Gallery in Montreal was handling sales of his work. Recognition was on the rise, and in 1961 the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation included him in a short television documentary on British Columbia artists called Five BC Painters. Hughes further describes this scene on a paper label on verso: "The greenish-whiteness of the Kicking Horse River in the foreground is not caused by foam but by a white sediment brought down by its tributary, the Yoho River. The tunnel entrance on the left is the famous CPR spiral tunnel, and the tunnel entrance on the right is, I believe, just a small tunnel. The small red car between these is on the main Trans-Canada highway, and the gravel road at the bottom of the painting is the Yoho Valley Road." It was not uncommon for artists to be daunted by the vast scale, density of forest and panoramic majesty of British Columbia, particularly the Rockies. Hughes's humble and reverential nature can be sensed in a letter to his sister regarding the landscape he had seen on this trip in which he states, "It will be a problem to make art out of such beautiful and picturesque subjects, but I feel it can be done..." Clearly, in Mt. Stephen he rose heroically to the challenge, due to his great love of nature and predilection for panoramic scenes. In the 1961 CBC film, Hughes stated, "One of the reasons I paint is because nature is so wonderful...I feel that when I am painting, it is a form of worship." Hughes's paintings of the 1960s are sought after because of their brilliant colour palette, fineness of detail and intensity of vision. Mt. Stephen embodies all these properties. It is a stunning composition, with the regal peak the focus, wrapped by a glacier at the top, and with screes of rock debris running down its flanks. Hughes's inclusion of elements such as the roads and the red car brings the warming presence of humanity into the scene. They also add a sense of scale to the vastness of the scene - demonstrating that here, nature overwhelmed man. His palette of greens is cool, dominated by the light and dark olive tones in the evergreen forest. In counterpoint to the predominantly green, grey and ochre palette is the foaming white water in the river and the white snow still lingering in the rocks and on the glacier at the peak. Hughes contrasts this white with tones of peridot in the water and teal in the glacier. He had a keen eye for patterning, which is consciously emphacized in the loose tumble of rocks gathered at the top of the slope, the stands of evergreens and the vegetation dotting the steep hillsides. Al these fine elements make the magestic Mt. Stephen a superb example of Hughes's 1960s period, an embodiment of the sublime beauty of British Columbia.

Hughes was awarded a Canada Council fellowship to sketch around British Columbia, and he traveled to the Interior where he executed the pencil sketch that this beautiful watercolour and an outstandin 1960 canvas were based on. Hughes's style - which had evolved through his coastal subjects - was fully developed, and the same essential elements can be seen in the Interior works: his attraction to a stunning panoramic view, his sensitivity to the unique elements of the landscape and a heightened awareness of colour. Here he focuses on such striking elements as the Ponderosa pine, the deep blue of Okanagan Lake and the unique clay cliffs above its shores. His attention to detail is manifest in his depiction of the short bunchy grasses in the foreground and the sage and other vegetation growing on the slopes above the lake. In Above Okanagan Lake, Penticton, Hughes adeptly captures not only the physical uniqueness of the area, but also the light-drenched and dreamy atmosphere of the Mediterranean-like Okanagan Valley.

Hughes 1913 - 2007 Canadian watercolour on paper Near the Forest Museum, Duncan 20 x 24 inches 50.8 x 61 centimeters signed and dated 1998 and on verso signed, titled and dated Literature:Ian M. Thom, E.J. Hughes, Vancouver Art Gallery, 2002, page 187 Provenance:Dominion Gallery, Montreal The Estate of Dr. Max Stern, Montreal Private Collection, Vancouver As Ian Thom states, "By 1980, E.J. Hughes was the most important landscape painter working in British Columbia", and he is now considered to be one of the most important landscape painters in Canada. Living in Duncan on Vancouver Island, Hughes focused on the surrounding Cowichan Valley for his subjects, this scene being particularly close to him. The BC Forest Museum, now called the BC Forest Discovery Centre, chronicles the history of logging in British Columbia on a 100-acre site with indoor and outdoor exhibits, and includes forest with nature trails and a heritage railway. True to Hughes's customary style, nature dominates the cene, with the more subtle evidence of man's interactions with it signified by the presence of the sign and small houses in the background. By 1991 Hughes had turned his full attention to watercolour, a medium he was a master of, exhibiting fine attention to detail and seemingly effortless washes. In Near the Forest Museum, Duncan, Hughes captures the atmosphere of tranquility that is so much a part of the Cowichan Valley through the lush green vegetation, softly glowing sky and serene waters.
