Doris McCarthy, A Fool in Paradise: An Artist’s Early Life, Macfarlane Walter & Ross, Toronto, 1990.Doris McCarthy (1910-2010) studied at the Ontario College of Art under the supervision of several noted Group of Seven members, eventually becoming a teacher in the art department at Central Technical School in 1932, where she remained for forty years. Teaching afforded her a newfound independence, and her lifelong curiosity is manifest in her evolving aesthetic approach. McCarthy experimented with form continually, reducing, stretching, and synthesizing it to its essential structure of line, shape and colour, allowing herself to be influenced both by those she was working with and the evolving face of art movements over the years. What remained constant in her work was her dedication to the representation of landscape and the continuum of an event, that is the perception of a space over a period of time. McCarthy travelled to Britain and Ireland repeatedly throughout her lifetime, documenting what she saw in both oils and watercolour. At times picturing the landscape as formidable and foreboding, she always placed the vantage point as hovering slightly above the ground. The painting Storm Clouds of Keel, creates a sense of place that is at once familiar and distant. Reminiscent of Group of Seven landscape compositions, McCarthy captures the jutting rock cliffs of the far western shores of Ireland in richly applied oils, using various shades of green and blue to convey depth and a sense of drama. While ostensibly a painting about storm clouds, we are immediately drawn to the striking hillside that also commands our attention. Through a beautifully articulated understanding of the importance of colour and shape, McCarthy transports us a great distance, if only in our imagination.Estimate: $20,000–30,000

    DORIS JEAN MCCARTHY, O.S.A., R.C.A.STARRED ICE FROM TWIN OTTERoil on canvassigned 24 ins x 30 ins; 61 cms x 76.2 cms Provenance:Private Collection, TorontoDoris McCarthy (1910-2010), who had been a student of Arthur Lismer and J.E.H. MacDonald at the Ontario College of Art, established herself in the Toronto arts community soon after graduating in 1930. From 1933 until her retirement in 1972, she was a full-time teacher at Central Technical School. While her early work was strongly influenced by the Group of Seven, McCarthy began to experiment with different forms of abstraction that were current in the 1960s. In 1972, she made the first of many trips to the Arctic. Starred Ice from the Twin Otter, probably painted in the mid-1970s, was inspired by the large patterns of the landscape which McCarthy could see from a small plane. From this elevated vantage point, McCarthy would analyze the forms of the landscape, which she would later reduce to a set of rhythms and patterns. She had worked this way in the 1960s, when flights over Georgian Bay had resulted in highly abstracted paintings.Estimate: $10,000–15,000

    DORIS JEAN MCCARTHY, O.S.A., R.C.A.DESERT AT TAOS, 1998oil on canvassigned; titled on the reverse 24 ins x 30 ins; 61 cms x 76.2 cms Provenance:Wynick/Tuck Gallery, TorontoPrivate Collection, Picton, OntarioLiterature:William Moore and Stuart Reid, Celebrating Life: The Art of Doris McCarthy, McMichael Canadian Art Collection, Kleinburg, 1999, page 180 and 181.At the young age of fifteen, Doris McCarthy (1910-2010) attended the Ontario College of Art under the tutelage of Arthur Lismer. Lismer had a loyal following of eager and keen students ready to absorb his knowledge, and a classroom where “Lismer’s lectures, insight, and criticism were enthusiastically (embraced) by McCarthy.” McCarthy was one of his star pupils, winning complete tuition and further scholarships for her education and would go on to work for Lismer at the Art Gallery of Toronto. Reviews of McCarthy's work has often included commentary on the intrepidness of the artist, remarking on her habit of travelling to remote locales to capture the essence of the Canadian experience. The personality of the painter, whose charm was legendary, often received as much "ink" as the painting itself. McCarthy's gender and, eventually, her impressive longevity - she lived until she was 100 - have at times diverted attention away from the work itself. These aspects aside, she rightfully claims a top spot as one of our most popular and enduring landscape painters.It is interesting to consider the arc of her career as represented by Desert at Taos. McCarthy had painted in the desert before but, of course, these were arctic deserts. Here she tackles a novel landscape to which she has no pre-existing sentimental or nationalistic attachment. But as surely as any arc if extended may form a full circle, might we see here a "reminiscence of things past."It is widely accepted that our early life experiences are our most profound in terms of the impressions with which they mark us. Seemingly in Desert at Taos, 1998, McCarthy’s quick, diffused brushwork, particularly in the scrubby shrubs in the foreground and light, whimsical colours, cannot but remind us of Lismer, whose lessons from long ago are present as a whispered memory of days spent with her most influential teacher and mentor.Estimate: $6,000–8,000

Nonetheless, this painting is less a travelogue than it is a record of Doris’ feel for the land. It is, as William Moore contends, “about the perceptual experience of the place.”Estimate: $8,000–12,000
