Snow: A Mini-series (continued)
Norman Carton’s Winter Light, 1956, has a slight shimmer, reflective of the seasonal light of winter. Though this painting is from a bit later, in the late 1940s, Carton often painted cities shrouded in light, giving them a spectral, supernatural appearance.

Emile Pierre Branchard’s stark snowy landscape Winter, 1928, was acquired in 1939 from the Gallery’s inaugural Room of Contemporary Art exhibition. Branchard was self-taught and only began painting seriously when he was about 30.
