About this work

“Western Hemlock” (1950) was one of two works Arbuckle made for Sampson-Matthews. Peering into an old-growth forest through a break in the dense coverage and far into the mountainous distance, this image reflects the mid-20th century view of Canada’s incredible wealth of natural resources.
