Catalogue Note
Robert Wakeham Pilot has been referred to as Canada's last significant painter working in the Impressionist tradition. His images acted as engaging examples of the poetic style and intense sincerity that was his mark. Pilot's rare gift of capturing the romantic in the ordinary is evident in Summer on the River, in which the artist rendered a painterly and picturesque view of a clear summer day. Pilot's expressive brushwork and lush colour palette evoke a temporal quality, while the beautifully articulated landscape resonates with the viewer.
