Diana Thorneycroft, “Group of Seven Awkward Moments (Birches in Winter, Algonquin Park)” (2009)
A Y Jackson, “Winter Afternoon” (1914)
Diana Thorneycroft sent in a response to our recent post Learning to Be Canadian Through Art using these two images, saying this: ” This photograph is based on A.Y. Jackson’s painting “Birches in Winter, Algonquin Park”. When I was in art school I had two consecutive summer jobs as a special supernumerary RCMP, the first year in Yellowknife, the second in Inuvik, and saw how homophobic many of the guys were. This is my revenge! I hope you enjoy it.”
