To Prince Edward Island - Alex Colville

This is one of Alex's best known works with great light and form. Having gone to the Maratimes
for University , I can relate to this picture with the expansive sky , the dark blue ocean and
wanting to see everything out there. Alex Colville was born in Toronto on the 24 of
August 1920, but considers himself a Maritimer having moved with his family to Nova Scotia in
1929. He studied art at Mount Allison University, N.B. and on graduating in 1942 joined the
Canadian Army and served in Europe as a member of the War Art program. He taught art and
art history at Mount Allison University from 1946 to 1963 before devoting himself full-time to
his painting and print-making.
