| Maxwell Bates & Philip Surrey: About Town |

The paradox of the isolated individual within the crowded city is a well-trodden subject bordering on cliché. Yet its seemingly continual relevance is due to the fact that we have all experienced this feeling. Two twentieth-century artistic pioneers of Canadian modernism, Maxwell Bates and Philip Surrey, both explored this subject in their paintings and drawings. Focusing on work by these artists from the Firestone Collection of Canadian Art, About Town explores their investigations of the personal experience in the urban environment.
