the Director explores Hell

As promised, here are the images I researched after my trip to the Glenbow today. It's the desolation of the landscapes, of war. After WWI Jackson could only paint the desolated landscapes. The exhibit not only paired Jackson and Dix, but it showed a lot of the influence of Tom Thomson and Jackson's Group of Seven partners...
 
The desolation is what I think of as hell.  . . .
