Wilson, York (Canadian, 1907–1984) A painter, collagist, and prominent muralist who lived for many years in Mexico. Wilson worked as a commercial illustrator prior to the 1930s, and while he experimented with abstraction for much of his life, he never abandoned his concern for drawing technique, which he worked continually to refine. woodcut A relief method of printing that involves carving a design into a block of wood, which is then inked and printed, using either a press or simple hand pressure. This technique was invented in China and spread to the West in the thirteenth century. Yarwood, Walter (Canadian, 1917–1996) Originally a painter, Yarwood abandoned the medium for sculpture after the demise of Painters Eleven, of which he was a member.

Oscar Cahén Life & Work by Jaleen Grove The breadth of Oscar Cahén’s oeuvre was obscure until his son, Michael Cahén, inherited a collection of drawings and paintings, most of which had lain in storage for over three decades. This resulting recent accessibility through The Cahén Archives has brought renewed attention to Cahén’s groundbreaking work as an illustrator and abstract painter. Cahén’s paintings are featured in many Canadian art books and can be found in museums and galleries throughout Canada. Much more is being discovered as The Cahén Archives furthers the study of Oscar Cahén’s life and work. 95
