“Many Lives Mark This Place” by John Hartman


The Canadian Embassy in Washington is pleased to present the exhibition, Many Lives Mark This Place, which features several large-scale paintings by John Hartman, a prominent Canadian artist. Long interested in people’s connection to their environment, John Hartman embarked on this project to capture the intimate relationship Canadian authors have with their personal places of inspiration. Hartman allowed his own reading interests to direct the choice of subjects who in turn selected the backdrops to their portraits. The portraits celebrate the richness of Canada’s literary fabric and speak to the power of the imagination in experiencing the diverse landscape which links Canada together.

The works on display have been selected by Mary Reid, Director and Curator of the Woodstock Art Gallery, where a larger version of the exhibition has been shown in various venues across Canada from 2020 to present.

The exhibit is open Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm free of charge at 501 Pennsylvania Avenue N.W. Please visit!
