Close Looking: Mary Wrinch's Miniature Watercolours
Join Erin Stodola, Curatorial Intern, and Renée van der Avoird, Assistant Curator of Canadian Art, as they discuss historical Canadian artist Mary Wrinch’s miniature watercolours on ivory. Mary Wrinch (1877-1969) was a prominent figure in the early Toronto, male-dominated, art scene and was among the first women in the city to make a living from her art. With luminous colour and exquisite brushwork, she expressed the modern spirit of the sitters in her portraits, who were members of the Toronto arts community.
