This is a superb opportunity for your students to experiencing
through, Pereduhoff’s artistic skills & vivid imagery -some of the
formative events of our history as a province! A valuable addition
to your Canadian History curriculum.
William Perehudoff is one of Saskatchewan’s most celebrated artists and exceptionally prolific, executing numerous murals as well as easel paintings.He was employed by Fred Mendel’s Intercontinental Packers in the 1940’s - first as a maintenance painter, then as a commissioned muralist.
In 1952 he began a 25 year long career as art director at Modern Press, a company owned by the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool, and publisher of the weekly Western Producer.
During this period, Perehudoff produced a steady stream of illustrations for the newspaper. The abundance of his imagination are powerfully exemplified in these evocative illustrations.
This exhibition from the Permanent Collection of Saskatoon’s Mendel Art Gallery, presents illustrations from two serial articles published by the Western Producer in 1955:
“So Soon Forgotten”, a 15 part reminiscence, in pen and ink on paper, of prairie
life during the early part of the century.
“Louis Riel: Patriot and Rebel”, a 22 part history of highly charged scenes
rendered in the unusual medium of scratchboard.
