About the Exhibition
For over 70 years, Ann MacIntosh Duff (1925–2022) painted the landscapes and everyday moments of her life. Her most expressive works are those painted from her cottage on Georgian Bay, which record the atmospheric weather on the shore – misty mornings, blazing hot afternoons, and clear midnight skies. The McMichael is delighted to have acquired 200 works by Duff in 2022, making it the most significant institutional collection of her work. This exhibition, which includes a carefully curated selection of these works, represents a small survey of Duff’s career.
