George Turner Jr.

(Canadian 1910-1993)

b. Glasgow, Scotland, February 28, 1910

d. Toronto,

Born in Scotland in 1910, George Turner immigrated to Canada with his family in 1920 and initially went to St. Boniface in Winnipeg before the family settled in west Toronto.

His father, George Sr., and grandfather, John Turner, were trained artists. John was a portrait painter by profession.

George obtained a BA and MA from the University of Toronto. He received his formal art training at OAC. He studied painting with other like-minded struggling Toronto artists in the 1930s and 40s, having gone on several painting expeditions throughout Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes.

His early works showed European influence, but his later works adopted a more typically Canadian 'Group of Seven' style. He painted in both watercolour and oils and produced a large number of linocut and woodblock prints.

Turner taught Art and Drafting at various Toronto high schools including Central Technical School where he was department head and a colleague of Doris McCarthy. George retired as Principal and would later serve as an administrator at George Brown College.

George Turner Jr. is included in the The Canadian Heritage Information Network (CHIN)

database of Canadian artists.

	Art Deco / Medieval Hunting Scene Oil on Canvas Approx. 8 ft x 8 ft. Circa 1925-1935 Canadian School A large unstretched canvas that appears to be either a backdrop for a theatrical production or perhaps a hanging mural in an early cinema house etc.. It is a stylized Art Deco interpretation of a Medieval hunting scene. (A favourite motif of the era) It has numerous small areas of missing paint but nothing that distracts from the composition as a whole. No significant holes or tears with the exception of the extreme margins. These areas would be utilized to stretch the painting. It is in remarkably good shape. A striking composition, beautifully executed. Inquire about this item. Click here.
