LONDON, ENGLAND.-The British Museum presents Painting towards the light: the watercolours of David Milne. David Milne (1882-1953) has long been recognised as one of Canada’s most original and visionary painters. Watercolour was central to his practice, this exhibition shows around eighty of his finest watercolours and some of the colour drypoints for which he was also renowned. The British Museum is one of the few public collections outside Canada to own any of Milne’s work. The remainder of the material will come from Canadian collections. A substantial loan from the National Gallery of Canada includes the striking compositions that Milne produced as a Canadian War artist in army camps in Wales and Yorkshire in 1918, followed by the battle-scarred landscape of Belgium and northern France.
