About this work

Depicting grain elevators in Peace River, Alberta, in mid-winter, “Summer’s Stores” references the artist’s interest in both industrial design and the Canadian landscape. The Sampson-Matthews silkscreen based on this painting, the only Ensor piece in the program, was printed from 1947-1953. This image was selected for the 50 cent Centennial Canada Post stamp in 1967.
