Pictures from the Age of Rembrandt: Selections from the Personal Collection of Dr. and Mrs. Alfred Bader by David McTavish (review)

For Laing's book is a self-confessed one might almost say, self-confessional panegyric on the artist he has pursued as dealer, collector, and now author for over fifty years. In 1934 Laing Galleries in Toronto organized an exhibition of thirty of Morrice's canvasses and pochades (small panel paintings), along with twenty-one of his late watercolours. 'The emotional impact on me [of the exhibition] was such that in the half-century since,' writes Laing, 'I have increasingly pursued works by James Morrice, and have been haunted by visions of the man himself a statement that I hope this book bears out.' In order to write the volume, Laing visited many of the studios and locations where Morrice painted in Paris, Normandy, Brittany, Venice, Capri, North Africa, the Caribbean, and Quebec and tracked down, with the help of researchers in Canada and abroad (for some reason not acknowledged in the book), the minutiae of Morrice's friendships and peregrinations. The result is a curious mixture of hagiography and hard detail. The best parts, I think, are those that recount the circumstances under which Laing purchased works by Morrice. Here he is on the familiar ground of his previous books, Memoirs of an Art Dealer (2 vols). As in those earlier publications, he illustrates many of the works that have come into his hands. Opposite each page of text is an excellent colour plate of a painting or a drawing by Morrice fully three-quarters of which, it should be said (as the book unaccountably does not), are drawn from Laing's own personal collection. Jean Sutherland Boggs contributes a short, lyrical introduction in the book to the artist's work. (JOHN O'BRIAN)

They are endlessly fascinating in their devotional, political, and family functions as well as materials.
