About this work
“White Pine”, one of the most famous images in Canadian art history, exists both as a Sampson-Matthews silkscreen and as a painting. The silkscreen, first produced by Casson in 1947, was so popular that he reworked it into a painting nearly 9 years later; the painting has been part of the McMichael Canadian Art Collection since it was produced. White Pine, the painting, is likely the most commonly reproduced Canadian art image but the Sampson-Matthews silkscreens are original, authentic, handmade artworks A.J. Casson produced himself between 1947 and 1953. An uplifting image of a solitary tree on a rock overlooking Georgian Bay on a cold day, this piece reflects the strength and endurance of the Canadian people.
