Edwin Holgate - Canadian Artists

Edwin Holgate (born in the Allandale, Ontario on August 19, 1892; died in Montreal, Quebec on May 21, 1977), was a Canadian artist, painter and also engraver. Holgate played a chief role in Montreal’s art society, and the Montreal Museum of Fine Art, where he both studied and trained. He was known above all as a portraitist and for a number of female nudes in outside settings, which he painted during the 1930s.
Holgate studied at the Art Association of Montreal during William Brymner (who also taught A. Y. Jackson) times and later Maurice Cullen. In 1912 he studied in Paris. He was traveling Ukraine during the outset of World War I, and was forced to cross Asia to return to Canada. He returned to France with the group Canadian Army.
Holgate’s first presentation was detained at the Arts Club of Montreal in 1922. He taught timber engraving at the Montreal’s École des Beaux-Arts from 1928 to 1934.
The National Gallery of Canada held a display of his work in 1975. The Montreal Museum of Fine Art prearranged another retrospective in 2005.
