Sarah Jones, Curator of Jones Contemporary and Jones Auction House, presents an evening talk about Saint John artist, Miller Brittain (1912-1968). We will explore Brittain’s depiction of the working class in Saint John, his treatment of the human figure, and how his work fits in with the broader Canadian art historical context of the early to mid twentieth century.
