A painting by Alex Colville shattered the artist's previous auction record at a sale held Wednesday in Toronto.
David Alexander Colville, painter (born 24 Aug 1920 in Toronto, Ontario died 16 July 2013 in Wolfville, Nova Scotia). Alex Colville moved with his family to Amherst, NS, in 1929 and studied at Mount Allison (1938-42). On graduating he joined the army and in 1944 was sent to Europe as a war artist. He returned to Canada late in 1945 and worked in Ottawa on paintings based on his European sketches and watercolours until his demobilization in 1946.

Alex Colville, pintor canadiense, fue profesor en la Facultad de Bellas Artes de la Universidad de Mount Allison durante casi veinte años (desde 1946 hasta 1963) hasta que decidió dedicarse completamente a la pintura. Está considerado por la mayoría de la crítica artística como uno de los pintores canadienses más relevantes. Aunque no es fácil decir exactamente por qué, Colville resulta un pintor extremadamente "nórdico" (considerado el norte como contraposición a un mundo vital tan diferente -y a veces incluso contrapuesto- al que entendemos como sur): sus tonos, sus temperaturas, su estética y, también, la experiencia vital que nos muestra, lo refieren constantemente hacia esos matices sutiles pero esenciales que lo identifican -al menos desde mi punto de vista- como norteño (con la indudable fascinación que eso tiene) https://www.gallery.ca/en/see/collections/artist.php?iartistid=1087 http://www.alexcolville.ca/ http://www.welcometocolville.ca/war-artist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3M29Dx2thLQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuMTfh0dXG0 http://www.visual-arts-cork.com/famous-artists/alex-colville.htm http://www.gallery.ca/colville/en/ http://www.mta.ca/owens/colville/visit/index.php https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yivF7UB7rw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkJGC98wh50 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GJuEqaelpY Todas las imágenes y/o vídeos que se muestran corresponden al artista o artistas referenciados.

In this ACI Essay on Nova Scotia painter Alex Colville, Ray Cronin explores the role of animals in the artist’s work. Influenced by existentialism, Colville's philosophical and artistic self-exploration had animals playing a key role.
