Canadian School (20th Century) Titles:York Mills Barn York Mills Lane Date: 1949 Medium: Oil on board (2) Dimensions: 9" x 11" & 11" x 9" Inscriptions: The reverse bears pencil inscriptions reading "York Mills June '49" and "York Mills Lane '49." One retains the original W. Haines Artistic Picture Framing, 899 Yonge Street, Toronto label. A charming pair of original Ontario landscape paintings executed in 1949 depicting rural scenes in the historic York Mills district of Toronto. One composition portrays a weathered timber barn nestled beneath mature maples, while the companion work depicts a shaded woodland lane bordered by towering hardwoods and a sunlit sandy embankment. The works capture the pastoral character of York Mills before its post-war suburban development. Together they form an appealing documentary record of the area's rural landscape during the late 1940s.
