About this work
A tiny, isolated village lines the edge of the water in A.Y. Jackson’s “Junction of the Peace and Smoky Rivers” (1953-1957), the only evidence of civilization in a vast landscape of otherwise barren rolling hills. A.Y. Jackson, an employee of Sampson-Matthews, instigated the wartime silkscreen art program and was its biggest contributor, providing 12 works throughout the run of the program. In many of these works, the presence of man is evident but shown in small scale compared to the dominance of nature.
