Moret. Winter
Maurice Galbraith Cullen (1866–1934) was a Canadian landscape artist born June 6, 1866 in St. John's, Newfoundland.[1] who died March 28, 1934, at Chambly, Québec.[1] Cullen was known for his winter landscapes.
Life and Work
In 1870 his family moved to Montreal, Quebec. He travelled to Paris at the age of 22 to study painting, where he fell under the influence of the impressionists. Beginning in January 1918, Cullen served with Canadian forces in the First World War. He came to the attention of Lord Beaverbrook, who arranged for him to be commissioned as an "official war artist" along with Frederick Varley, J.W. Beatty and C. W. Simpson.[2]
