Biography
September
Of related interest:
Artist Frances Gage, born in 1924 in Windsor, Ontario, experienced both artistic
recognition and acute despair in her life. An alcoholic for many of her adult
years, she flourished in her work and as part of the contemporary Toronto art
scene. A friend of Frances Loring and Florence Wylie, she developed a greater
connection with the Group of Seven and worked closely with Lawren Harris and
A.Y. Jackson while living in Tom Thomson’s shack.
Frances remained focused and positive and became a successful sculptor, creating A.Y. Jackson
more than 500 works of art. Still, even though she achieved the dream she 978-1-55488-392-0
strove toward during all the years of struggle, she discovered that the Dante-like $60.00 £35.00
Paradise she had sought and gained was instead the poet’s Inferno in disguise.
Her correspondence, as referenced in this remarkable biography, bears out this
insight in a life often marked by unsatisfying triumph over tragedy. It presents a
candid view of one of Canada’s most fascinating artists of the twentieth century.
Alan Butcher ran his own graphic design business in Toronto and Montreal for
more than 20 years. The author of two previous books, I Remember Haida and
Ale & Beer, he lives in Cobourg, Ontario, and is a friend of Frances Gage.
