Houses, St. Urbain — Fine Art

Houses, St. Urbain - 1934 shows a row of houses set into a slope, painted in the Canadian landscape tradition. A.Y. Jackson built his work around quiet towns and the light on their roofs. The scene sits under a broad sky with soft shifts of green and grey across the buildings.

The fine art print goes straight onto a nail. The print arrives ready to hang, with a metal hanger fitted to the back that takes a nail or screw straight into the wall. No separate frame is needed.

On a kitchen wall near the sink, you notice the roof shapes first while washing dishes, and the pale ground in the corner by the window. The picture sits above a narrow shelf and reads as a calm stretch of houses against the sky.
