Title
Portrait of Edward Mitchell Bannister

This portrait presents one of the few surviving likenesses of the artist created during his lifetime. It humanizes a man often only discussed in relation to his awards or critical reception. Showing Bannister’s face within the exhibit asserts his place in the canon of Canadian art history.
