Now that the weather isn’t so unbearably hot and humid for me I thought I’d try and go out for a walk during my lunch break every once in a while. The Art Gallery of Ontario is just around the corner from my office so I figured that’s a great place to start.
In September I went and saw a photography exhibit called “women in focus.” It was lovely.
Here are some of my favourite photos:
This one is from Lotte Jacobi – I love the way the movement is captured. I keep expecting the dancer to keep going!
I just want to know what she’s thinking! This is called “Sea of Ice (Genevieve)” from 1935.
This is a print from Violet Keene Perinchief – originally from England but moved to Ontario and “found commercial success as the manager of the Eaton’s photography studio” before setting up her own shop. The eyes. Really, that’s it. Just the eyes.
Taking pictures of photos behind glass isn’t a strength of mine obviously. Here’s a better version of the above photo:
More from the AGO in the future that’s for sure, especially because now I have a membership.
