Provenance: Canadian Fine Arts, Toronto ON

Exhibited: “People and Places of New Brunswick” (Gallery 78; 2018), in a non-commercial retrospective exhibition of Bruno and Molly Bobak’s work.

Note: Molly Lamb Bobak was often drawn to urban scenes, here depicting the hustle and bustle of life on a busy city street. There is a strong sense of rhythm and movement in this work, accentuated by her loose brush work and selective placement of bold colour into the otherwise muted panel. Her technique achieves the objective of capturing the mood and impressions of the moment, rather than the details of the scene.
