CONTACT US SKU#: 124714 US Shipping $90 + insurance. BIOGRAPHY: John Arthur Fraser (also known as John A. Fraser and J. A. Fraser) RCA (9 January 1838 - 1 January 1898) was an English artist, photography entrepreneur and teacher. He undertook various paintings for the Canadian Pacific Railway. He is known for his highly realistic landscapes of Canada and the United States, many of them watercolor paintings.Fraser's early work as a tinter of small head and shoulders studies for Notman is skillful and sensitive, giving the impression of miniature paintings. One his first known landscapes was the picturesque and romantic Crossing the ice at Pointe de Levy in Quebec City (1866), which showed that he was already an accomplished artist. It has a dramatic sky and lighting, and meticulous detail in the foreground. Two of his oils from 1873, September afternoon, Eastern Townships and A shot in the dawn, Lake Scugog resemble the work of the Pre-Raphaelite painters popular in Britain at the time. They have strong and original composition and colour, with photographic clarity and detail. His 1878 New Brunswick landscapes are larger and more original both in composition and in use of colour than his earlier landscape. Most of Fraser's paintings were watercolours. His work was praised for its photographic realism, attention to detail and mastery of colour and light.Relatively few of Fraser's paintings have survived. Some are held by the National Gallery of Canada (Ottawa), and smaller collections are held by the Beaverbrook Art Gallery (Fredericton), Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, Art Gallery of Hamilton (Hamilton, Ontario), Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto Reference Library, Museum London (London, Ontario) and the Glenbow Museum (Calgary).
