Large original painting on canvas from a Saskatchewan Meeting Hall.   Most likely circa 1935.
It was common in the 1930s to decorate public spaces with large murals.
This one depicts the prairies golden harvest as well as its neighbors to the east and west.
All painted in the period in an art deco modernist manner.   What modern was in the day.

A number of prominent Canadian Artists Painted murals to supplement their fine art career. 

This mural measures approximately 14 feet by 8 feet high.

It also comes with the book "A National Soul" Canadian Mural Paintings, 1860-1930s. by Marylin J McKay.   
(We contacted Marylin McKay a number of years ago and it was she who suggested it most likely came from a prairie meeting hall.   She did not know who the artist was and said the place that wanted a mural often hired a fine artist to do the main blocking, design and paint the main attributes then an assistant would finish it.   She did not know who the lead artist was.)

It has been folded many times over it's life history and some paint wear has occured.A unique piece of Canadian history.

This original piece of art does not come with any documentation or any guarantees to authenticity.   We did out best to accurately describe what we have gathered as with all the pieces in the sale.   Please use your own judgement.
