Curatorial Talk
Ann MacIntosh Duff


Saturday, July 8 | 11:30 am


at the McMichael


Join Associate Curator John Geoghegan as he discusses the work of the late Canadian artist Ann MacIntosh Duff. For nearly eight decades, MacIntosh Duff recorded the world around her studios in Toronto and Georgian Bay in sensitive watercolours. Duff’s paintings, created from memory rather than direct observation, often alluded to different ways of seeing the world.

Speaker: John Geoghegan
Host: Sarah Milroy
