The
Newfoundland Paintings
Campbell
Tinning Exhibition from Art Gallery of Moose Jaw
Campbell
Tinning was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in 1910 and studied
art at Regina College and at the Art Students’ League in New
York. This exhibition of work was created during a trip to Newfoundland
in the summer of 1949. Newfoundland joined confederation earlier
that year and Tinning, a young artist fresh from his success as
an Official War Artist, was fascinated by Canada’s newest
province. Thirteen large watercolours in this exhibition were exhibited
in Montreal in 1950 and have remained together as a group –
passed on to his niece and nephew after his death in 1966.
