“A Painter of Wilderness”: New Book about Paul Gauthier Reveals the Mastery behind his Work

“A Painter of Wilderness”, a new book about Paul Gauthier, explores the life and works of an artist whose love of the Canadian landscape can only be expressed in the beautiful and revelatory paintings that he produced. The book documents Paul’s  trips across Canada, from the Yukon to the Arctic, through photos, newspaper clippings, gallery programs and, of course, his paintings, each of which demonstrate the  tremendous skill and profound understanding of a master artist at work.

November Sunset, Algonquin Park by Paul Gauthier

The composition and harmony of a piece like “November Sunset, Algonquin Park” raises the landscape to the plane of revelation, where the bright shafts reflecting on the shimmering water betokens the promise of some illumination – whether intellectual or spiritual doesn’t matter: the landscape speaks a universal language and appeals to both thought and feeling. This piece can represent the book as a whole and, by extension, Paul’s life as an artist always seeking, always striving, and never yielding.

“A Painter of Wilderness” solidifies the artistic genius that Paul Gauthier possesses and his reputation as an artist to collect.
