About this work

“Evening, Nipigon River” (1943), one of the first Sampson-Matthews silkscreens to be released from the wartime silkscreen art program, was so popular that it went into a second edition. In this wilderness scene from the hinterland near Thunder Bay, Ontario, a patient, solitary fisherman casts his line on a perfectly smooth river on a fall morning. Housser went on to produce two more images for Sampson-Matthews.
